Does anyone know where I can get a face plate for a Harmon Kardon A500 amp? Mine has a bent corner that bugs me. I would prefer one in mint condition. Leads appreciated. If there is a more appropriate place to post this please advise.

I see I am not suppose to post this here but I can't get rid of it. Moderator.....help please.

I have one with a damaged corner too. Actually, mine was thrown out a window! It was being thrown out, so I picked it up off the trash. I've left the mangled corner as a tribute to it's brief misfortune. However, the metal is thick enough on these that the corner can be hammered out, then filed to the correct shape, and finally sanded (side to side) to match the 'brushed' aluminum finish.
 
Thanks kt-66,
I have considered doing what you suggest or using two blocks of wood and a "c" clamp. Also thought about having a woodworking friend build a case that would hide the corner. Would really like to find a parts unit with a mint face plate that I could buy. The HK is pristine otherwise and the sound is wonderful.
