Hi, Dave.
I evaluate ledger plates just about like knife sections. If they're eroded (wear/rust) to where they don't present surface for the sections to cut against, then they'll need replacing.
You can still get the ledger plates and the rivets to hold them in. Biggest question, I would think, is whether it's worth the time to drill out the rivets on the old and drive in new, or simply buy new guards. I haven't seen any variety in the serrations of ledger plates and expect they're all about the same as what come on new guards, unlike the old days when different plates and a whole host of sections for the knife were available to deal with different stalks.
My notion, if they appear to have reasonable serration to them, run them as they are -- might be that they're acceptably sharp or sufficiently serrated under any rust to do their job. Any that are obviously bad or clog badly when worked are subject to consideration for replacement, at which point it's your choice whether to mess with a new ledger plate or just replace the guard.
