[Collins] PM-2 power supply - case top front edge protector

[K2QDE]

Dave,
As funny as it may seem, I found that black rubber stripping while shopping 
in a local Pet Shop. It's was used on the bottom of aluminum dog food bowls 
to prevent slipping. Don't recall the size bowl, but with a slight stretch 
it fit perfectly around the front sub-panel on my URM-25D. I had to heat it 
in very hot water and apply for best form fit.
Stu, k2qde
