All, I'm just starting the restoration on my Zephry radiobar with a 40-165. The previous owner had partial stripped the cabinet. When the cabinet was stripped the previous owner removed the speaker but not the antenna, crushing the antenna in the process. Has anyone ever opened one of these up? I need to take it apart to remove the dents but I'm not sure what's inside. Here's a picture of the antenna.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I got angry last night and fabricated a very stiff paper form to fit inside the antenna shield. It is now crush proof. I'm pretty sure a five year old could step on it without crushing it. I used basswood plywood and presentation board. Here it is almost together. Will the paper interfere with the radio waves?
