SVT Disassembly

[Old Fart]

I see the fasteners that hold the rear plate on. No problem.

I know the chassis is in two pieces, pre section and power section. I don't plan to remove any chassis.

But I wonder how to remove the front grille cloth piece. This is an MTI-era unit.

Should just pop out when you pull on it.

My 70's vintage blue-line uses glued-on patches of velcro-like plastic fingers-with-balls-on-the-ends to hold the front grille in place. It's possible to pry it loose from the front, but a little tricky to get the prying angle right, because it mounts pretty flush. If I've already got the back panel off, I usually push it from behind with a long screwdriver or a drum stick - making sure I'm pushing the wood frame, and not just the cloth!

Excellent. Thank you. The grille on my ampeg combo is like that. Flush/recessed grillel frame. STRONG velcro. I think I will poke it in the rear like Sid suggests, at least the first time.

EXKweeeze me!!! No poking in the back!! We're not that kind of forum!

Hope this is on topic (but still a rediculous question)
When I first got my 2007 SCT-CL ( early vietnamese ). I managed to disassemble it completely except for the fan wire clip connector. The small white one. How on earth do you disconnect those things?

Thanks!

Long live the mighty SVT!
