Do the DG handles have the same problems as DEC switch handles? (fragile pivots that break off) I'd say the first step is what Vince Slyngstad has done with several DEC handles - capture an accurate shape in some flavor of CAD. From there, Shapeways or an SLA printer should make a nice, functional replacement. SLA will produce brittle but visually beautiful parts. SLS (Shapeways) will produce stronger parts but with a matte finish - functionally nice, but palpably different. Perhaps a couple coats of paint would smooth that over. -ethan
