Thanks to a clueless ePay seller. I wanted one for forty years,

have cried when I took it out of the box. My kid bought it for me.

The two most common things in the universe...hydrogen and stupidity. :-(

At least from you picture, it seems that the damage is confined to the
front panel -- and you have a good shot at repairing it.

Remove the front panel from the radio. Get a couple of two by tens just
a little longer than the panel. Make a 'sandwich' with the panel between
the two boards. Use 4 C-clamps, one on each corner and slowly press the
panel back into shape.

Good luck!
