Not cheap postage but as luck would have it there's a PENTA FOOTPLATE on ebay US as we speak. I agree with graham - I could easily live with it as is. Not sure what's causing the buzzing though. It could be the transformer plates vibrating which isn't unusual in older equipment. Chris.

I have polished one to a mirror finish as an experiment (both the button plate & the battery cover). I left it open to the atmosphere and it quickly started to tarnish which was a shame (Craig is right - preventing the button holes from rounding off is a real problem). These top plates aren't cast aluminium but an alloy of some sort. I still
