I have a pair of Penta 1s I am restoring. They've taken a few hits over the years and the stainless is a bit banged up.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to remove the stainless so I can get it straightened?
Thanks

I don't think the stainless steel can be straightened or fixed after removing them from the Penta body itself. What I've seen people here do before is they get the measurements and find shops that deal with stainless steel and then get reproductions using the measurements of the originals. Then with the new stainless steel panels, you use double sided tape to put them back onto the body of the Penta.

Have to agree with Micronian on this one. I can't see how any dents, scratches etc are going to be removed from thin stainless steel panels without leaving some evidence. The finish won't look right. Member 'Leslie' has a good relationship with a stainless steel supplier who has made panels for Beolab speakers and possibly for Penta speakers too. Try searching for info on Beoworld related to this or try to contact him for the source. They should be able to make replacement panels.
I don't know if anyone has ever trid to source them via B&O? Though I suspect their stock is finished.
