38-116 chassis repair attempt
#1

  I had posted the damage the chassis received in shipping. Thought I would try to fix it and see how it goes.

  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.
