[GreenKeys] [External] Model 33 parts

[Jeff G]

AH Finally saw this pic - I wonder if some older 1A2 style buttons would
fit there! Personally, I'd get some good high res pics/scans to recreate
it, and repaint it, and maybe get a t-shirt silk screening place to redo
the art. I'm all about keeping things original original but thats really
skimming that fine line of patina vs something else.

1A2 style buttons like this (not the smaller clear ones the normal 33 TWX
would have):
