They used to work. But they only play Oldies music from the '50's. A lot of guys have converted them to AM/FM blue tooth capable.

I've 3D printed lots of ***** for my 52 F1. I design them with Fusion 360. I coat them with body filler and sand them smooth before painting them. Attached are picture of my OD handle - the design, some variation I tried and the final install a few years ago. I've since made a nicer one.

Of course molds are the easiest way if you have an original to copy. In my case I didn't have an original handle and I couldn't even find a picture of one in an F1 so I had to design it from scratch. I had the same problem with the cigarette lighter ****.
