I remove the screen on my svt 810

How do I remove the screen on my svt 810 Sorry if it's a dumb question but I can't figure it out lol Any help please

I saw a YouTube video where the person recommended backing out one of the screws on the name plate a little and pulling on that. It may have been an official Ampeg video.

Yep, it was....a YouTube search turned this up:



I've found that if you carefully insert a flat blade screwdriver between the cabinet and the grille frame and gently pry sideways, it'll pop off too. You have to be careful not to dent the cabinet.
 
I usually did the flathead in the corner trick when I had my 610, but you do have to be careful not to damage the cab. I've never actually tried the pull a screw method, but that's probably the best way.
 
i'm lucky...my grill frame has shrunk so much over the years that all i have to do is pull the picks out that keep it from rattling and it pretty much falls out ;)
