Recently acquired a grunow model 752 and the plastic dial face is slightly warped at the out side edges. If anyone has a good fix for this I would appreciate the knowledge.

Scott. I do not see that radio listed in Radio Attic to see wgat dial face looks like, but u may have some luck with a hair dryer. Heat plastic til bendable back into original shape. I done this on a dial frame [ can not spell that word starting with an E]

Touchy thing to try. Depending on what the dial face is made from. if it will flex a little, maybe try to clamp it slightly on a flat piece of wood. hold a hair dryer just close enough to warm it. Tighten the clamp a little more. keep doing this until its where it needs to be. If you get it too hot, it could just shrink. Or if it's hard plastic, to much clamping may snap it. Good Luck.

Thanks for the ideas...yes it is old brittle plastic but I will try this easy heat method that you two gentlemen suggested and see what happens,

Scott, I thought of that myself on a warped Zenith dial - but was scared off when I heard that some people got good results from pressing it - like inside a heavy book - and leaving it like that for a few weeks. I "pressed" my large celluloid Zenith dial this way and left it in storage months ago. I haven't taken it back out for a look yet, but from comments from others - I expect it will be a good flat dial by the time I take it out.
