Bent away from the chassis, but not creased. These facia are relatively

contact glue and clamping back is there a pre-treatment in the way of
annealing the metal or something to remove the set. ? Otherwise it is likely
strong enough to overcome the glue, as metal to metal.

If you heat it it will discolor. Just glue it. I had the same thing happen
to an old Master Lead 50 that I used to own. Glued it and that was the end
of it.



On the older amps and the valve tops, the cabinet holds the fascia tight
against the chassis, on the newer stuff it doesn`t and the gold panel
can bend as you withdraw the chassis. I spose the correct way to do it
is the remove all the knobs etc, flatten the panel by rolling it the
'wrong way' then refit it. And be more careful removing the chassis next
time :^)
