Looking for the button sets for the Cherokee CBS-1000

I had one where just one button was busted. Of course it was the "FUNC" button. I used a staple rebent to match where the button attached to rest of the plastic and then used heat shrink around each of the two little legs and the staple legs to hold it all together. Basically reinforced the busted plastic with the staple and heat shrink.

Don't know if that will help with your problem, since the buttons may be broken in a completely different and much more interesting fashion. Thought I'd throw it out there anyways. Just in case.

I don't see anything, I even tried the Comanche Warrior 10 meter radio and didn't see any replacement parts for that version.
Might have to search for a donor radio.
Odd they won't ship out of Germany.

I think a donor radio is the only way to go. Even if they did ship I noticed that the buttons were not set in the right sequence for the Cherokee CBS-1000.

Best of luck finding a donor! If I remember right, those radios are a bit hard to find!
