[Heath] HW-8 Cover Help

[G3OOU at aol.com]

Hi Ron
 
I am guessing that the hole was made to accomodate a loudspeaker by a  
previous owner. You can fill the hole with a new piece of metal and weld it in  
place but that would require grinding and smoothing down the welds, priming 
and  repainting the whole case. I would fit a loudspeaker and grill. There 
are no top  internal support bars so you should be able to get the rear panel 
past it by  lifting the front panel as you slide the chassis out of the 
case.
 
I usually use chrome plated bolts held in place with retaining nuts or a  
strong adhesive to fill unwanted holes in a front, top or rear panel.
