I cleaned up the brass outer knobs with Brasso followed by Simichrome.
I let the inner knobs soak in some diluted 409 then buffed with Novus #2.


The power cord is all brittle and cracking. Luckily, I have some NOS replacements.
I carefully removed the old cord while preserving the rivets.
I read that it was possible to soften the replacements in hot water and mush them over the old brass rivets.
It actually worked


next, I replaced the old crumbly faceplate foam with some closed cell insulation held on by contact cement.




And so another project comes to an end
