Hi. A Philips BD543A "Jupiter" radio arrived for repair yesterday, but unfortunately one of the press buttons is missing. Can anyone supply me with a replacement button, please? I do not have any spare ones as large as these in stock.
Kind regards
Mike

Mike,
Chances are that I can help you here. However, I need some more information and possibly pictures. What are the dimensions of the button?
As for the grub screws: you can make these yourself from a stub end of M4 or from M4 screws for that matter. Surely you can obtain metric screws in Harwich?
Regards,
Hans

Hello Hans.
Many thanks for your reply. Another forum member is looking in to the push button availability, but if they do not have it, I will contact you. I certainly do not have such a large button in my spares box, but I do have another "Jupiter" radio, but do not want to remove the button from it.
I thought that I might ask about the grub screws before I buy from my local Wilko's Hardware store in Leeds. The only grub screws that I seem to have now are ones that are activated by "Allen" keys, so I just thought that someone may have some original spares.
I am not based in Harwich, Essex. The museum there used to be linked to my site.
Kind regards
Mike

Hi. I have managed to obtain some suitable press buttons for the Philips BD543A (here's hoping they fit?)
Cheers
