Motorola 3MFT
#1

I recently began restoring a 1955 Motorola 3MFT truck radio and I’m having trouble finding diagrams on it (parts, operation, etc). Does anyone have info or know where to get information for this radio? There’s a bunch of numbers all over it but, I can’t find out what anything means. Still working on the Philco, just taking a break

Its actually a 5MF, I found some info on it but not much
#3

       
Some info from Beitmans.
#4

Can anyone please tell me how to remove these push button arms from the radio? They move in and out smoothly then stop like they should so, there must be a way to completely remove them but, I can’t figure it out. I want to clean them up and get at a little bit of rust that I can’t get to easily with them in.
