Sage Advise Needed
#1

I picked up a set the other day that has a bakeolite cabinet with a Tenite speaker grill. The grill is sagging a bit. I was wondering anyone has tried to reform Tenite back to It's original from with some luck?

yep, you can warm it and it will move. Might move more than you want or move where you don't want it to, but I just did one and it is much better than when I started.

It does not have to be very warm to be bendable, but don't force it.
#3

So what did you use to heat it?

#4

Heat gun on low- and very little. A hair dryer might work as well.
