CrateVC2110R. Got some new tubes, have never been changed in 20 yrs.

I thought the back panel would come off, but it dont. the 4 screws dropped the chassis, but it wont move over a 1/2" either way. I cant even see any tubes. So I put it back together before I stuck my finger in a cap or something and electrocuted myself, or tore something up. 

How the heck do you get into this thing? 

Manual is no help whatsoever.

Heck I couldnt see the tubes either. They must be jammed in there somewhere.

It won't slide out the front, theres a transformer or something sticking out blocking it. Theres not enough room to slide it out the back either.

Its looking like I may have to take off the front baffle. BUt I'd rather wait for someone whos done it and knows the trick so as to avoid extra work, unecc dissasembly, screwing something up, or electrocuting myself!

Probably have to take the baffle off? I have to do this on my Trace Elliot Tramp combo. Looks like there are a couple of screws on the side of the amp. Try removing those and see if the baffle will pop out. It might be set into a channel on the bottom. Disconnect the speaker leads first.
