Default Switches

I have an electric antenna and rear speaker switch on my car. I can't find any re-pops of them for 1968. Does anyone know of anyone that refinishes them? The chrome is pealing and the wires are pretty brittle.

FYI, Instrument Specialties will completely restore the switches to like new condition, including the chrome plating and painting all of the letters.

Should be hearing from Instrument Specialties soon. They said it would be 6-8 week and they would be shipped back. When I spoke with them on the phone they gave me prices for restoring gauges and recalibrating them to factory standards. They had different levels of restorations they also do all of their own plastic chroming inhouse. I've talked to a few people that have used them and they are very please with their work although it's expensive it's worth it they said. I will let you know and post pics when they arrive
