There was a guard that mounted with the switch to protect the wiring cables and the bottom of the switch. Interestingly this was painted in khaki green #3. The two screws that held the switch on would not budge and I ended up using s chisel to knock the heads off. I tried out the old trick of welding a nut onto the remaining studs and they unscrewed just fine.
Lastly some pictures of the entire switch all cleaned up. I’ll be zinc plating it once my supplies arrive later this week. Watching David’s ws52 restoration made me realize I too can replate parts back to NOS condition.
