I've already orderd the on/off/ vol switch from Mark Oppat.

The friction dial drive repair I've got covered, as the large can restuff.

Questions :

1) It hase the early still hex knobs ... it's missing one . Is it supposed to be the larger hex stlye or the same size as the others ?

2) it's missing all the metal inserts for the knobs.... where to find ?

3) if the shadow meter needs to be rebult does anyone do these ?

4) any alterations/ updates to the elec. suggested ?

5) paper work I should order ?

Thanks ... David
