Please advise:
The Wonderbar in my ‘55 has buttons on its lowermost border that can be depressed.  However, I can’t for the life of me determine how/if they can be pulled out and then pushed back in as one would do in presetting a station.
Forever scanning,

Gerald,

The attach file is from the '56 Service Manual radio section, the programming for the '55 would be similar.

Good luck..!

I think that the radio in the ‘55 is not the same as those in ‘56 and newer.

This is correct for a 55.  Theres a little door and red plastic pins you move back and forth for the station.  If you cant depress the buttons you have another issue at hand.

Gerald,

The '54 and '55 have the same radio, as Tim states above the preset sliders can be access just below  the dial face, the door is just above the station push buttons and should flip downward. You should be able to see/feel a small bump at the center of the door (top) to flip it open.

Good luck..!

Thanks, I’ll have a go at it once she’s back down on her wheels (which are at Dayton Wire Wheel getting rechromed).
