SX-28 Dent Removal

Tue Apr 8 11:51:25 EDT 2003

Here is something I had success with.  I bought an EF Johnson 250-33, thats the 10 watt speech amplifier option for the Viking Desk Kilowatt.  Somewhere in the recent past something contacted the knob and pushed it inward, leaving a circular indentation.  It might not have been so bad if the knob wasn't cockeyed.  To flatten it back out and not damage the silkscreeing on the front panel, I put a huge thick aluminum washer on the backside right on the indentation, a 2x4 across the front panel, and used a big "C" clamp across the two, slowly twisting the clamp screw and drawing the circular indentation back to the front panel.  It turned out quite nice.  73, Scott WA9WFA
