Does anybody make reproduction TO series gauges?

I know you can get reproduction gauges for the TE tractors but does anyone reproduce the gauges for the TO series? I have seen the temp gauges reproduced for the TO"s but I haven"t found the oil pressure gauge. Correct me if I"m wrong but didn"t the original oil pressure gauges on the TO"s have black faces and went to 50lbs, and I believe the O in oil was shaped funny.
 
The ones from my to35 might have been orig judging from the shape they were in. I haven't emptied the garbage can they are in so I can have a look and see. Seems to me they were black background with white writing. The needles have become a fine powder on the one. I'll have a look if I remember next time I'm out in the shop.
 
Hummmm... Inno just gave me a brainstorm... what if you could carefully get the new and old gauges pried apart? and put the old face in the new gauge??? Wreck a few of em to get one right I suppose... but something to do on long winter nights......

I would say the ammeter and tractormeter look orig, the other two maybe not.
I tried prying one apart one time, knowing full well it wouldn't end well.........and it didn't. I can't imagine you'd be able to seal it all up again afterwards.
 
If I remember correctly Bob Sybrandy brought one or two reproductions to the winter meeting and said all of the gauges are in the process of being reproduced. Now I am not sure if he meant the TO 35 or all of the TOs. I do not know if all the TOs used the same gauges. I believe the amp meter in the pictures is the correct bezel for the TO 20/30s as it looks as it has a smooth rolled bezel or maybe it is just because of the amount of paint on it. The oil and water gauges to me do not look original. Just my opinion.
 
For the record ...here are some not very good pics of the gauges in the TO35 that was never used. It is now in the store at Wengers of Meyerstown PA....That's right 7/10th of one hour!

All of the TO-20's and TO-30's I have been around that had the original gauges, the oil pressure gauge looked like this.
