Welcome to the forum! You've found the best antique radio forum on the net, so you are starting off right! These guys will steer you right. If that radio was mine, I'd be ordering some new push buttons. I think radiodaze sells some like you need..

I'm not sure if those are the right ones, but someone here will know. That cabinet is in great shape, so you got lucky there. You can download the schematic for free at nostalgia air...

Check it out... that will give you a start..
