There is some light haze/scratching on the clear faceplate cover near the word "cool". I'll need to see if this is something that can be removed and polished out, absent a better suggestion from someone on the Forum. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and here they are.

Bob.. two things,.
1.was 1972 the first year defrost was used??I thought 1973 was?? if yours has been replaced, I have an extra de-ice unit

2. I have 2 of the wood grain face plates for your HVAC controls. I think there were two different grain patterns or something like that. PM me if you want one. these are NOS in the old GM wrapping. for some reason always had a hard time finding anyone who wanted these.??.

I guess my "it's easy" comment now makes sense?? That is one item many overlook when doing a clean up/body on restoration. Easy to get out and is a part that always is dirty and needs grease..
glad I could help with the list.. If you'll let me.. I will keep you busy until Christmas lol..
