I'm considering a 1976 244-DL, and it needs a few things, and I'm trying to gauge the difficulty in sourcing them. Please reply if you have insight on parts availability, or actually have the parts (include prices). Would prefer to find a one-stop-shop scenario. I know there are parts collectors out there.

Needs

• Square plastic escutcheon (easily broken) that surrounds the glove box key

• Dashboard heater/air vent controls: the far right side, and one of the center vents

• Fan switch (low speed not working)

• Period OEM Volvo AM/FM radio (has a working, period AM-only Volvo radio)

• I believe these had two-tone horns. It sounds like one horn is not working. I think the frequency is stamped on the horns, so if it's supposed to have two, I can get the other frequency. Please verify if this makes sense or not. Maybe some models only had a single-tone horn?

• Does the hazard switch have a replaceable bulb, or does the whole switch need to be replaced?
