Take lots of photos before and during dismantling. Make sure all the contacts are crud free and polished up before going back together. It's amazing how much corrosion there can be on the switch contacts and some folk just bung secondhand switchgear on without inspecting it! I,ve used simonize tough satin black on the switchgear enclosures and it looks o.k.
