Cossor 501ac white plastic panel surround
I've got one of these sets on the waiting shelf, like many the white plastic around the speaker grille/tuning dial has shrunk and deformed.
Has anyone found a way to get one back to it's normal shape and form - perhaps by heating? Or moulding a new one? I find the potential problems with this one item a deterent to starting!

Re: Cossor 501ac white plastic panel surround
I once stretched the surround on a Pye T19D by pouring boiling water over it and pulling it, gently, with my hands.
It stretched easily and the result seemed very good... However, I was amazed at how quickly (a few weeks) it managed to shrink back to, exactly, how it was David |
