That reminds me of how my little brother used to "play" with the push buttons
on my Mother's car (1960 Imperial) when it was parked in the garage. Every now
and then she would get in the car, only to find that the push buttons didn't
work. I think my little brother would try to push more than one of them in at a
time.
Anyway, my mother became very skilled at taking the push buttons apart in that
car and re-installing them on their respective levers. My Dad bought her a
little screw driver kit with a "Phillips" head and a flashlight built into it.
I believe that kit is still sitting in the glove compartment of that car today.
