Who sells just the Motorola Thumb Wheels re-bright finished chromed?
My step Dad's "Toad Skin" fingers destroyed the chrome finish.

I would rather buy those and have them shipped out with the Radio together for when I plan to re build it.

Wards I recall, said it was a Hit or miss getting them.

This was a prior post on other options with Wards being gone:

Yes, I do recall he decided to shut down his business.

I'm actually asking, did anyone ever get their thumb wheels re brightened. And how or where it was done.

Such an easy part to get 3D printed, then send 20-50 units out for Chrome Plastic vacuum sealing.    :alan2cents:

Sounds like you could start a restoration business ;)  ;)
