Valveking Chassis

Post by wilzy89 »

So this is my first post, Hello!

Simple problem, but i can't find a solution anywhere.
I wish to remove the chassis of my Valveking 100 head, as I am doing a valve change/general clean up of dust etc. I have removed every single screw from the lower end of my VK, yet the chassis wont slide or move at all.

Is it possibly glued down? anything I'm missing??

Thanks

Make sure the top handle bolts are not being used to hold the chassis too on combo amps.

For the tubes up head type see if the rubber feet are being used to hold the amp in as well.

Find something thin enough to slip between the chassis and the cab to probe for other screws. I'm thinking one of those very flexible plastic rulers you get as a give-a-way is a good choice.

You may need to remove the front winged logo plate in order to remove the chassis. I lay the amp on it's face and remove the four top screws first and the two back screws last. Support the chassis by the transformer or power tube cage - BE CAREFUL not to yank on any tubes etc. Set the chassis on a nice work surface.
