I managed to figure out the part from my last post, it looks like a rubber bumper for the buttons in the push button tuner. Does anyone know where to find replacements? I haven't found any online yet...
And on the topic of the push button tuner mechanism, what type of cleaner is best for cleaning the gunk out if the mechanism? Can I use some CRC cleaner and the Re-lube the mechanism with some WD-40? Or should I use something else?
I finally have some time this weekend and will begin replacing the caps, resistors, and rubber wire.
