A hair dryer may get hot enough to do the job if it's placed close enough-- can't say for sure as I've not tried it.
Well folks, it looks like all of my old stat panels will be put to use again... as soon as I find the time and materials to make boxes and get them shipped off.
* [tentatively] Narkotic to get the welding rod panels and attached components for the switch selectable wide & narrow dispersion modes.
* Another member of this forum PM'd me last night for one of the two pairs of perf metal panels (he can make himself known if he wants to).
* And a fellow Carver Audio Forum member has requested the last remaining pair of perf metal panels (I'll likely be arm twisted to build frames/woofer boxes).
Enjoy!

The package includes the 12x 48 welding rod panels with the segmentation resistor networks and mode switch boxes attached-- all packed and ready to ship. It's an oversized package and I had to build a box.
The package is 7" x 19" x 53", weighs 24 pounds, UPS shipping to your zip code is $49.33 plus the $10 bucks it cost me to build the box = $59.33.
Let me know if you still want the panels.
Jazzman Mk Vs
Hi Charlie;
The Jazzman Mk Vs I built in 2012 are still going strong so I've not been in the building business for a while. I checked out the segmented panels/welding rod project but went back to work part-time and haven't had time to do anything. Maybe when I re-retire?
Not sure I mentioned this before, but I am still using the Xformers and circuitry I got from David Lucas before he folded up his tent. The circuit includes a HV source and a circuit equalizer that was a mysterious black box until a DIY poster recognized that it was patented in 1984. Might consider upgrading to your latest Xformer recommendations sometime..anyway, they sound great when backed up with my bass/subwoofer system and electronic Xover (set between 400-600 hz.) Just fabulous sound thanks to you!

Hi good to hear from you again and also good to hear your panels are still playing well. I think you would like the sound of segmented panels-- more difficult to build but definitely worth it.
I've had nice performance from floor to 6 feet tall line source ESL's, 244 sq in.
I made wired stators 4 inches wide, more dispersion than wide panels. I found this a nice compromise to electrical segmentation. I mounted them in 24 inch baffles and crossed over around 150 hertz 4 th order to stereo sub's.
