Help needed to identify make of throttle controls

[EU_Cruiser]

Good day,
We have just bought a 40 year old Dutch canal cruiser and some refurb is needed. Can anyone identfy the make of these controls - I would like to replace the 'buttons'. Many thanks.

These are Teleflex. I have got a spare set but the buttons are missing! You may need to find some non original buttons.

I don't know what make they are sorry. Very nice things they are though. I love your optimism in thinking spares might be available . I think you need to have them made specially, which fortunately looks quite easy

Wow! Thanks.

If I knew how to undo them.

I'll have a look at mine when I'm in the shed next but I believe they pull off as I can't remember seeing a thread on the shafts where the buttons sit.

Have seen these on a few older Seamasters, it might be worth contacting owners club to see if anyone has any bits laying around.

I know of a few Ocean 30's with those, every single one has either scabby mashed up buttons or someone has made/fitted replacements. They decompose in the UV and fall apart. Good luck in finding original replacements!!!

Thanks for all the replies. Seems like replacement parts are like hens teeth so will probably have new ones turned out of rosewood/red mahogany and ebony/blackwood.

That appears to be what most of my friends have done... find a friendly wood turner is the answer I think.

As said previously they are Teleflex circa 1960/70. We used to fit them prior to Morse coming on the market. If memory serves me right, the levers can be removed by undoing a small grub screw at the bottom of the lever.

will probably have new ones turned ...

they're not turned though, judging from the picture...
