Conn uses some strange threads. Be careful screwing other buttons into the stem. They may screw on fine for a few threads... then they may seize as the threads interfere. The Conn threads are 6-40 and many other manufacturers used 6-36 or 8-32. I don't know about the Kalison threads as they are not listed in my handy-dandy cross-referrence. Maybe one of the other repair guys on the BBS will know. If you are in doubt, check the threads on any finger buttons you try to use with a thread pitch gage and compare the new buttons with your old buttons.
