Hello, everyone.
I know I can't possibly be the only one who has experienced this issue before, and this is not the first time I have seen this with our company radios.
I pulled another radio out of one of our buses going to auction. It was mounted sideways with two screws holding it into the bracket up top. It was a terrible installation that will never be repeated. Anyway, at some point, some yahoo completely messed this radio up by over-tightening both mounting screws on the other side of the unit and snapping off the heads. It looks like someone tried to get them out already. Maybe tried to drill new mounting holes. Needless to say, it can't be properly mounted.
Does anyone know what the best option is as far as a professional I can take it to to have the screws drilled out? The people at my work who have tried in the past with other radios have only messed them up worse. It's obviously a tricky job that requires some specific tools. Would a Kenwood dealer be prepared for a job like this?
