I thought these were monkey metal so almost impossible to polish, and even if you do it will dull quick. Much nicer with a good paint job in my view.

Have you tried Eurocoin ? Yes that's who I emailed. It has a Eurocoin plate on it with s/no but still can't find anything. Just make a note of how the dip switches are currently set and then start experimenting. Doesn't take long to figure out the options. Back in the '80s and '90s I had to do the ...

In the case of caps, always go higher, especially on voltage. It will work the same but last longer. Check for dry solder joints, clean all pcb con...
