Hi Pete

Remembering back when I had the AK 20 Compact many years ago...I did not know that the diamond dial pointers were removable! When I repainted my 20C back then (the wrong color, as it turned out), I left those in place.

Thanks very much for the kind offer; I really appreciate it. When I get started on my 20 Big Box...again, probably in the spring...I will certainly contact you then.

Hey Bill, hard to tell on mine but I think the on/off switch on my set is brass? Doesn't appear to be nickel plated. Ditto the corner decorations, which are currently rust in color. Apparently yours is not the only one with nickel trim, as Pete also mentioned those parts being nickel plated.
