Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jerry! I am really thrilled with how nice it looks, someone took very nice care of it over the years. I've got a new set of buttons on order for it. Looks like I need to track down some Howard's.

The original knobs are also in nice condition, but have some caked on grime. Can I also use Goop on the plastic knobs with a toothbrush, or should I use something else?
