Welcome Doug, an interesting posting and your comments on the lack of AFC.
Sometimes the bars across the speaker grill were useful to add a dab of glue and stop a large area of cloth from sagging.
Looking at the dial and push buttons I was struck by how similar the knobs are to an HMV 650 who called them "Easy Grip". They certainly are compared to those on the the same chassis Marconi 561.
Geordie you can buy a set of replica buttons (look correct to me) from here: http://www.renovatedradios.com/parts.html
Costs a bit and a possible Customs hit unless you know someone in the US who can send them on in plain packing (shush, spies everywhere).
I have bought knobs, tuning gang and chassis rubbers from him and all have been perfect. He is highly regarded amongst the antique radio community in the US.
