Label a cup, "perforated metal cover screws". Remove the screws that hold the black,
perforated metal cover to the chassis, and place them in the labeled cup. There are:
1. Four screws along the top front edge of the perforated metal cover, just behind the
faceplate.
2. Two screws in a vertical line along the right-side front edge of the perforated
metal cover, just behind the faceplate.
3. Two screws in a vertical line along the left-side front edge of the perforated metal
cover, just behind the faceplate.
4. Two screws in a horizontal line on the right side where the perforated metal cover
slides into the chassis base.
5. Two screws in a horizontal line on the left side where the perforated metal cover
slides into the chassis base.
Remove the perforated metal cover. Even after the screws are gone, it may take
considerable force if it has been a long time since the front cover was taken off. In
addition, you may find that the cover is pinched between the transformer and the chassis.
I find I will often need to place the point of an awl into one of the side perforations, and
use it as a handle to pull up the transformer side of the cover. Be careful with the awl, as
it's sharp and pointy, and we'd prefer to not get blood over the amp.
Now, remove the two screws shown in Figure 5 that hold the transformer shield to the
heat sink. The bottom screw will probably require a mix of contortionist skills and a
small screwdriver. We recommend that you label the screws with their original location
to take the guess-work out of reassembly.
Remove 2 screws on the side, from behind the fan.
