Are you inclined to try to replace the radio switches yourself?  Read the following emails:

 I know it is probably easy, but is there an easy way to get the faceplate off to
replace the switches?

Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck,

There are a number of Phillips head screws that must be removed to get the faceplate off.  Even then, the switches are not directly accessible.  You must also remove additional parts of the radio to get to the PCB (printed circuit board) that the switches are soldered to.

There are somewhere around 30 or 40 screws to take out and a little de-soldering to get the PCB loose.  Just be careful and you can get to them.  After you get the PCB loose, all of the switches are in one area making replacement easy at that point.

If I get a chance (and it won't be in the next week or two) I might see if I can get some pics taking the radio apart and replacing the switches.  I've got to do mine anyway and I've had the switches for some time now.

 Many of you may have wondered about the radio switches, which are (it seems)  constantly being discussed.  I ordered them haven't had time to do anything with them  yet, but here is what 16 of them look like with a quarter for reference.
