In that case I'll just clean them up a bit more using a smaller wire wheel since there were some areas we couldn't reach with the wire wheel on the bench grinder we were using.

It would be nice if I had a steady hand to paint the indicator arrows and lettering white, though, so I don't have to squint at them to see whether they are locked or not. John B.
