Looks great, Ron! Icon_thumbup

Regarding the missing buttons, your idea of using 6 from an American Philco sounds good. Or maybe use two and just file / sand the ends flat. If there's enough "meat" on the end to allow you to do that. Otherwise you might be able to make two buttons out of some wood dowel rod and paint them to match the others. Yeah, not the most ideal, but I've done that on a project or two and it worked in a pinch.
