Restoring case of Panasonic RF-888LB
HI. I've got a RF-888LB and besides it not working, the case is damaged at the front. I post 2 pictures, one shows the major damage, which will require gluing. Other shows minor damage to trim.
How do I fix the major damage do you think? It will require some pressure to force the part back, but if I do that first, maybe I cannot get the glue in place. So, not entirely certain how to handle this major damage. As to minor damage, not sure how I get rid of the dent in the trim. It appears to be a ring of aluminium. Maybe if I can reverse the trim that would put the best side front. Thanks. Rich Also wondering what type of glue needed. |

I think JB Plastic Weld might do and Araldite Standard.

Re: Restoring case of Panasonic RF-888LB
Another thing, the radio is from 1975. And Panasonic used, what looks like some plastic mesh for the loudspeaker grill. I post a picture. I'm trying to source this kind of mesh. No luck yet. Does anyone know what is is? Know of a supplier? Thanks. Rich
