Hi Tom, and welcome!
For the wiring, I replace the old rubber insulation with heat shrink tubing, which is available in various colors. When replaced in this manner, the wires look like they have new rubber insulation. Others replace the wires with new insulated wire. Do whatever works best for you, but just be sure and replace all of that rotten insulation!
Pushbuttons are available from Old-Time Replications and Renovated Radios, as well as Radio Daze. Links are on my site's Resources page.
