Zenith TO Knob Bright Removal
#8

Now that the chassis' done I've gotten around to the cabinet.

I haven't decided how to remove the brights yet, but I did try buffing one on the knob. Do you know that if you buff it enough brass turns to silver  Icon_eek -- oops! They're so small, I figured they'd be solid brass.

I'll either get some plating compound and fix the originals or take the coward's way out and use the spare, bright-less knobs I have with the repro brights I got from Antique Electronic Supply a while back. They don't seem to carry them any more.

Can't think of anything witty.
