Question re 1955 FM Packard...
I recently purchased the version of this model that came with the golf clubs, the Pebble Beach version. It is a nice model but I noticed that the antennas are not in synch in that they bend at different angles. Is there an easy fix to this? Can these antennas be manually bent to get them at the desired angle or will they snap off? They appear to be plastic so I'm guessing they can't be bent much without snapping but I thought I would check to see if anyone else has attempted this or has any other suggestions. As always, thanks in advance for the feedback.

Brad the antenna mast themselves are metal, the bases are plastic
Ive gently "finessed" bent antenna with good success, just use light pressure and do it gradually and you'll be fine!
