I was assuming one of the end ones is the memory button that stays pushed and then you depress the one you want set to the current station which resets both buttons to neutral position. Then one press on the button you programmed moves the needle to the spot from wherever it is
And by assuming I mean trying to remember the earliest car I can remember my parents having.
It was either push or pull. I’ve seen both. Some had you push it in really far, but made that last bit that set it really difficult to push (to avoid doing it by accident, I guess), or more commonly you’d pull the button outwards to set it (the button was basically hollow at the end so your finger could go in to hold on and pull).
I had assumed that you hold the button in, like a digital radio from the 90s.
