I do cars and I know that it is the little details that fool the eye to think all is brand new. I had a bracket chromed it was small, fit in my hand. It was like $50 to have done. But it was years ago. Just for laughs if you get the exact make and model and google you may find a replacement handle. But it may be cheaper to chrome yours. There are shops for powder coating too. The paint is put on a different way, electrically, it is very chip resistant. I think you could probably get that powder coated cheap as well.

Pardon my input, just that it would be out a few weeks so the time to consider restoring the handle is before you load it with cigars. Good Luck whatever you decide.

LED lighting fixed and connected to the old light switch, so when I open de humidor, the light goes on, when I close the door, the light switches off.

What a great idea! I've got an old Crosley just like this, but I use it for refrigerating beverages :-)

Almost done. Door handle needs to be powdercoated and I am still looking for a paintbrusher to make it a piece of art, but this is what it looks like now

I still need to sort the top drawers and put brand by brand, size by size but you get the idea.
