Few years ago, Justin Wagner showed our local club how he had 'restored' the
chrome on a TR4 OD switch using chrome foil available at art supply stores.
The result looked very good. If you looked closely enough, you could see
the imperfections in the original chrome (the foil is very thin and conforms
to the old surface); but I think it would fool Darrell <g> And there's no
reason you couldn't fill the pits with Bondo ...

If that doesn't work for you, let me know off-list & I'll send you a PDF
file.
Unfortunately, as I recall, the later switches were also slightly different
in other ways, like the bend in the handle and the shape of the knob. Don't
know what you could do about that.
