Christmas '18 Project: The Fisher FM-50-B
#10

A box cutter knife...cutting away from me, not towards me. If you are really careful, once you get started cutting the lip, you can use your box cutter knife almost like a saw, cutting the lip away. The important points are to take your time and not get in a hurry...and to always cut AWAY from you Icon_eek Count on replacing the blade when finished.

At first I tried grinding the lip off with my Ryobi "Dremel" tool, but I found it easier and quicker to just cut the lip with the box cutter knife.

I've done twist-lok cans in several Fisher tuners in this manner now, so it is becoming sort of easy. One of these days when I get to my Fisher 500-S and 500-B receivers, I might restuff their cans instead of getting the Hayseed Hamfest replacements as I did with my TA-600.
