Changing a button on a piano accordion

[Happy girl]

The A button is badly scratched and causes confusion.
Is it possible to exchange this button to a different location for an undamaged one, and if it possible for a layman to do?
Would members please advise the best way forward and if there is a link to a helpful video.
thank you.

The short answer is yes.
I'll leave the details to someone more experienced than I am.

If with "button" you mean a bass button then yes, this is easy to do. Buttons (on modern accordions) are "press fit". If you can open up the bass compartment by removing the plate under the bass strap, you can hold a piston with pliers from the inside and then gently wiggle the button free, an similarly you can press a button in place by a combination of wiggling and pushing.
