This Ultra U960 is turning into a labour of love! Every resistor miles high, split Hunts caps etc.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to restore the "gold" on the centre of the knobs and at the centre of the large tuning dial knob? I guess they were anodised or something? Anyway mine have gone a nasty black colour. The knobs also have a gold line round the circumference of each knob which could do with refurbishment.

Regards,

Ian
