HI:
I restore auto radios , how bad are your push buttons? , If they are not all cracked , you can restore them with very fine sand paper and finish polishing with BRASSO , you 'll be surprise how nice they come out , first try just the BRASSO if there are no deep scraches or chips , The buttons where originally heated and placed on the metal shafts they would then cool down , to remove them you could try to heat them , offen I'll use a sodering gun, getting the old ones off can be a job! , then boil water put your new push buttons in the boiling water heat them up and then push them on the shaft . 66 is a little newer than the radios I usually work on , I do not know of repo buttons, for it , is this a "T" bird or truck ?
