I think the following place has reproduction station indicator inserts for the push button dial. http://www.alanjesperson.com/gn_repr...uction%20Parts
Check out the Mid Atlantic Radio club. They should be able to help you find someone local to fix it.

I started to clean it with come Murphy's wood soap.. and it's looking really great.. gonna do some searching, but I just don't like the idea of the linseed.. that stuff usually stays kinda sticky.. gonn see if oiling with tung oil is a good idea? then put a paste wax on it.. .the finish actually is in really great shape. just been neglected the last few years it appears..
Thanks for the link about the indicators.. I look real quick and didn't see anything, but they got a long list too.. I'll even call them if I have to.. if nothing else, they would probably know where to find them.. A great place to start
