Thanks for the info everyone!

I’ll let you know what I end up doing…

@ricrx you have a photo of the instruments you pulled out? Do they have a gold or chrome bezel?

Not sure, it looks like it worked. Did it fail once and then work the second time?

You have just forgotten – I thought I recognized true craftsmanship in the choice of colors.

MiGi TD replica, I think!

Here are the only pictures I have of my Grandfather’s replica.  It looks like other T-series, but I don’t know enough of the differences between the years and kits available.  Any help in identifying the background would be appreciated.

Thank you
