My radios have tan coloured buttons. I don't there are multiple suppliers for the buttons but I could be wrong.

To replace the wax covered tubular capacitors, I use a modern tubular capacitor as illustrated on this page. Capacitors For some reason I can't see them listed but either of the yellow types I use. the orange dips listed are just as good. You will want a voltage rating of at least 400 V Dc. For the electrolytic in the can, I use the separate ones that are tubular. I disconnect the leads from the can, install a solder terminal block to hold the wire connections and then attach the separate capacitors. The negative side must go to ground. I will send you a PM on how to test the vibrator. I use a mechanical vibrator to test with after I have completed the capacitor work. That is because the new solid state vibrators will not survive a short.
