  I disassembled the dial scale and band switch shadow plate to see if I could straighten out the bracket.
It took about 2 hours to get it to this point.

 Had to drill out rivots to remove the rt. side upper bracket to straighten. Used small nut&bolts to reattach.
 I spoke with Mark Oppat and he no longer has the dial scale and recommended trying to super glue the scale and shadow mask. Thats next and hopefully I will be able to save this chassis.

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift
