Regarding the cross bar (part of the speaker mounting plate) which supports the pivot for the scale pointer, it's obvious that the bar in my set has been accidently bent. So much so that the pointer contacts the speaker surround at one end and misses it by 10mm at the other.

I daren't straighten the bar in situ for fear of damaging the speaker cone, so I'll have to remove the speaker mounting plate from the set. I should then be able to determine whether any "dishing" of the bar is needed.
