the tube.

1) Turn OFF the amplifier

2) Remove power cord from the wall and amplifier.

3) Using a phillip’s screw driver, remove the screws on top of the amp

4) Carefully slide the entire metal chassis of the back of the amp. You will now have access to the tube.

Note, the speakers may also need to be disconnected to remove the metal chassis.

Reassemble the amplifier following the same steps in reverse.
