What I want to do is just slide a new color set in it and be done with it. Of course, I'm not foolish enough to believe that'll work without a lot of finagling. Yes, I'd prefer to keep the mask as is and I'm definitely going to leave the knobs in place. The thing is, I won't know 'til I get there what's going to have to be done. I'm even toying with maybe reverse-painting the safety glass into a roundie shape. As I say, I'm not sure yet.
The major problem with the set is that it doesn't work! There's a resistor that keeps frying and something else that I forgot (sorry, I'm not up on repair speak!) The restoration guy gave up on it and the repair place said there were too many things wrong with it and wouldn't begin to touch it. So here it is, currently holding up my 13-inch black plastic set.
Charlie: feel free to drop in when your ship docks--just don't count on sneaking out with a set under your jacket! I've got a weiner dog who's in charge of security!
