Hello Everyone,

I'm looking to replace the rheostat (potentiometer) for instrument lighting in my '58 444. This is the rotary switch just below and to the left of the steering wheel. I haven't seen anything on eBay for a direct NOS replacement; however, I'm thinking that if I can just find the correct specs in Ohms for the switch, I can pick up a potentiometer that will do the trick.
I'm reaching out to you today to see if anyone knows what those specs might be. There are no details in the wiring diagram, sadly.

Thank you in advance,

Tony
