Pictures are a great help... I have had some success pushing out dings and dents from inside, remove the top cover and then use a wood dowel end to press the ding (it will be a raised bump from inside) while laying the top along a flat piece of wood to support the outside of the ding. The wind lever looks like it is cast metal, to have that wrap-over-the-edge flat spot on the end. I have not had much success bending cast metal. Whether aluminum or 'pot-metal', cast parts seem to break when I try to bend them. Try checking all your wires on the light meter circuit for continuity between the various ends. Another thought is that the meter moves with relative amperage, maybe your power supply had enough amps to move the needle but a battery will not push as much current and cannot, due to the meter movement being sticky or a connection having excessive resistance. |
