Help - '68 Fender Bassman Head

[Oren Hudson]

I need to remove the faceplate from this Bassman head and encountered a tricky move. It's the nut that holds the socket that the indicator bulb goes in. I've tried a ton of wrenches, pliers etc. to no avail. It's such a tight spot with the overlap of the top of the frame and surrounding areas. Looks like 90 degree angled small pliers might do the trick, but I don't see any at the stores sites. Any tips would be appreciated.

Is there enough room to use a standard open end wrench?

Here is the solution, pilot lamp assembly wrench.

This is normally their web site but it is not coming up for me. http://www.missionamps.com/hardware.shtml
There is also missionharpamps.com which works but only lists amps so I don't know what is going on.

That looks like it could work. I'm not getting the site up either. I'll try again later. Thanks!

I'd try an email.

They apparently have them laser cut. Nice when you can make your own tools.
