Now the next question is: did you find any finger buttons for Joe?
Joe gave up on finding any, and put a Buescher-esque "cross hatch" pattern on the sides of some (nice 1" diameter with a pearl and close-enough "metric equivalent" of standard 8-32 thread) YBB-321 fingerbuttons.
Joe... this Buescher had a nice set of fingerbuttons I could have replaced with new ones 'cause the owner wouldn't have cared and would have been happy with nice shiney new ones.... however, even thought they had the crosshatch pattern you desired, they weren't near as large in diameter as you required.
