Oh dear......

After years of successfully washing knobs and piano keys from radio restorations in the dishwasher, those of the Bush VHF64 I am restoring took a serious dislike to the drying cycle and have warped.....!!

See photos attached.....has anybody else had the misfortune to do this? Any point in trying to heat/clamp them, or am I now in the realms of finding some more from a scrap VHF64/94 (to clean by hand - promise!!)

Bryan (more than a little embarrassed....)
