How can I replace a missing radio button?
Bought used. It's in really good shape but is missing a button on the radio. It's the left scan/tune button. The actual button operation still works - you can put a pencil eraser in there and it works. It's just that the physical button that extends it out to the front is missing. Any thoughts on how to find a replacement to snap back in there?

If you have the STL file or dimensions, you can 3D print it within a few minutes.
