After a big struggle got it out of it case. Had to make up some lifting straps to put around the frame but it kept fouling and would not come out, I tried it upside on pillows but no good.

Got the 7 way connector to go though chassis gap by removing 2 securing screws for the selector switch mounting and with brute force levering the switch bracket over a little to allow the connector to pass, what a rubbish design !

It was fouling on several areas:-
1. The mains cable (cut it off as will replace with 3 core anyway).
2. The 2 large round control knobs that are part of the Output stage, found that the 2 securing screws for the output stage were somewhat loose so that unit was leaning backwards in the way of the chassis and also explained why the knobs were recessed too far back into the case.
3. A knurled screw head for the cover over the mains voltage selection switch/fuses.

Interesting piece of silver paper over one of the fuses !

Three old Wilma paper capacitors in the Output stage amp, will replace, but first will test the amp voltage wise.

The chassis looks like a nightmare to work on access wise, hopefully will not have to do much.
