Straightening Bent Fins


I purchased a huge Krell amp that arrived yesterday! (Used) It all seems OK, but it shifted in the box, and one of the fins was bent. You may as well know it was the one in the front! This is a 130 pound amp, so it's got a pretty good curve in the fin. I know this is a fairly common thing to happen during shipping. It's not severe enough that I don't want the amp, I'm not gojng to send it back over one bent fin. But I ask everyone out there, has anyone ever had any luck straightening a fin? Any advice on the best way to go about it? I don't want to break it off, or scratch it up. Any experiences good or bad, let me know what you think.

Of course, you could contact Krell and ask their opinion. If it took such a hard hit, there may be additional damage. Proceed with caution.
You could try to buy a non functional FBP-600 and use it for parts, if Krell is unable to source the fins.
