The knobs melt too easily. I am surprised by this one. Most of the brass falls off of the ones I have found and often has been lost. They may not be on there all that good - but good luck.

Hi Guys
You also may find that the corrosion is bad enough that you can't make them look good anyway. If those where made now days they have some sort of gold tone plastic piece. I wonder if there is a gold tone plastic tape??

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
