How to remove the preamp board? Looks as though it should come away with the front sub-panel, leaving front panel in place. But something near the valve base is holding it in place. Oddly 1 fixing only for the screening can mounting base (diametric one is floating ,by "design"), looks like a rivet but is it some sort of push-on stud fitting? I don't want to strain it if its not. Otherwise to remove the front panel requires removing the PA to get to one of the screws holding the rack handles in place. Schematic on Elektrotanya, as Samson LH1000
In the light of this one I will have to change my PbF attack procedure - I will have to find a feather. Reported symptom intermittant drop in volume. No problem on me powering it up. Removed top cover and twizzling lightly with ballpoint barrel, the output dropped out and back on touching the prea-pa signal cable. Never occured since with harder prodding / tapping/ tugging at the adjascent "header" cable termination, so I must have mechanically closed the solder break, for the moment. From now on with PbF , first twizzling will be litterally with a feather I think.
