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!

Carter..

Good suggestions. This radio was almost immaculate before
it was destroyed, and that is what hurts. I'm hoping the
paint doesn't "chip" when I attempt to straighten the
panel. I'll try the C-clamps and report back how it goes.
