Which finger buttons compatible w/ Kalison?

Asking here as I don't have a way to check this without buying a new set.
I got a Kalison for which I would like to purchase new pearled finger buttons, as these are pretty worn out.
Since Kalison as a company is caput, does anyone know if B&S/MW finger buttons would fit Kalison stems? Perhaps Yamaha?
Thanks in advance for any info.

That is exactly the info I need, thanks.
Do you happen to know the thread size of Yamaha?

Some of the ex-Kalison workers opened and still run G&P Strumenti Musicali, they acquired all the tooling and parts from the Kalison factory. I am sure it's the easiest way to find some original Kalison parts.

Thank you all for the excellent suggestions.
It's a Kalison Pro 2000... I believe it was Cameron Gates' old horn (maybe he can verify? serial # 48xx), bought it on something of a whim (including a 24-hour roundtrip to Dallas). Turned out to be a really nice tuba.
And yes, I thought I had read the valves were Bauerfiend... they are very, very nice.
