Anyone have any idea where to turn to get those volume & squelch buttons for a Zodiac AR-108 air-band radio, or buttons from something else that might fit?

I assume the top/inner is for volume and the ring is for squelch(muting)

tricky one to get hold of will look to see what I have in my salvaged bits if you cant find a new one

Yes, that's the way they work, and yes those ones are always tricky to get & replace with anything but originals, so many dimensions to get right.
I found spare antennas for the seemingly identical Maycom AR-108 on eBay and contacted the seller but he had no buttons.
I have some old oscilloscope (or whatever) buttons that I might be able to turn down on a lathe, if they otherwise "fits".
But I'd be grateful if you would have a quick look through your bits & pieces. It's for a pilot friend of mine.
