The unmarked button from your '61 radio should fit, you could have AM engraved by a very talented artist. That radio, if not already refurbished, will at the very least, need the capacitors replaced. Any classic radio rebuilder, could help with those issues.

Typical Ford built AM Radio of the 1960s

There will be two wires for speakers. Typically these are paired in a connector.
The red and blue wire is for illumination of the radio face when the head lights are turned on
There will be a fourth wire for power

The ground is supplied by the radio chassis case through the mounting

The two wires in the one connector -
That is power into the radio and illumination

The blue/red (however the colors are faded) is for radio face illumination. A very common circuit behind the instrument cluster. Only hot with headlights on. Comes from the head light switch
The other wire is the power feed for the radio. Only hot when the ignition switch is on accessory or on positions.

The connector with 4 wires - speakers. Likely separate set for front and rear.
