You bet. Those plastic parts that went over the metal "stud" were not very durable. The pliers on top of the set were very standard for the era. Thank you for sharing that detail. With the fine cabinetry associated with this stuff many peeps have come to call this "Talking Furniture". I know we are getting a bit off topic and I apologize for that.
