To The Group,



Almost all SR series transceiver that comes into my shop have scratches 
on the
inside of the bezel lip. I am working on a SR-400A that has a pretty 
fair paint
job. It is an obvious over spray, spray can paint job. But, the only 
real flaw
in the paint job is the inside of the bezel is scratched, to bare 
metal, in two
corners. So the owner wants a new paint job, not cheap. These scratches 
can be
eliminated quite simply. They are caused by laying the rig flat on its 
bottom
and sliding the rig out of the case.



Better Way.

On the 150, 400, and the 2000 remove the top and bottom covers. Then to 
remove
the case you should stand the rig up on its knobs on a foam pad or a 
double fold
of a terry cloth towel (remove the spinner from the main tuning knob if 
it has
one). Next remove the screws from the bottom of the case. Now with your 
finger
tips on the right and left side of the case bezel gently lift up and 
remove the
case.



Some times the cases are out of square resulting in the bezel 
scratches.
Pressure across diagonal corners of the bezel will cure this. Be 
sensible and
gentle with the pressure. Don't use a hammer or mallet.

Have Lived!
