drewm Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Armed with switch cleaner, I went to open up my Trace Elliot combo to get inside and clean my crackling pots. But I can't figure out how to get the amp head out. There's no screws or anything on the front or rear face. All I can find are what looks like screw covers on the top (see photo) - but they're pretty well stuck down, and I don't want to make a mess of them if they're not the right access point. It's going to be hard to do neatly. Anyone have any ideas? [attachment=49196:te_front.jpg] [attachment=49197:te_top.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yep the screws are in the top. Make sure you have the correct screwdriver for the job (snug fit) and apply plenty downward force as you unscrew and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewm Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Ah, I see, they're little bungs. Head removed, switches cleaned, head replaced. Brilliant. According to the stickers inside, the pre was assembled 19/11/91,and power stage on 20/11/91 and it passed QA checks on 22/11/91. It's not doing too bad for a 19 year old amp. Thanks for the advice. This place is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
