So the refreshment of my MOG continues. When I got her, it was clear that the metal dash panel needed repainting in new "black crackle". I also ordered a full set of new toggle switches and gems. But as I've lived with her for a few weeks, I'm coming to appreciate the patina on the old toggles, especially the. wear on the (bakelite?) toggle handles. In addition, the action on the toggles feels surprisingly firm, and much better than the "modern" replacements...the gems however are pretty far gone... I'm considering just repainting the dash panel , replacing the gems, and just cleaning the existing toggles and re-installing them. Would appreciate any opinions from the group as to whether I should replace everything or keep the toggles...
One question:
How does one remove and re-install the toggles - it appears that you need a speciate wrench of some sort to interface with the two slots of the outside of the ring...any references to where to obtain the proper tool would be appreciated!
