HELP - Broken grille, Philco Tropic 41-758EZ
#22

I thought about that. But I just wanted to get it back together and back on the shelf before anything else happened to it. I had Krylon Silver on hand, so that's what I used. It shows but it looks better than light gray glue residue.

Words of wisdom: On the off chance that one of you should find one of these sets someday, never, ever attempt to straighten out a grillebar if it is warped like some dummy did with this one (me). Icon_redface Icon_sad Icon_cry The cast aluminum is very brittle and does not take kindly to attempts to straighten it.

You will notice that the top grillebar (unbroken) is warped a bit. And it can stay like that.
