Lost the reverb in DC10...need help removing chassis...

[fdesalvo]

This is after a very recent tube change...maybe the new 12ax7 Boogie sent me went bad in V5.... Can anyone tell me how to remove my chassis from the head cabinet? I have disconnected the reverb send/return wires and unbolted the chassis, but it seems to be sticking on something.

Also, I could unscew the front panel on my DC-3's head and gain very easy access to the preamp tubes. But on my DC-10, there is another piesce of wood behind the grill! lol, this seems to be a great place to place a fan. You could route a hole in it and the grill panel and discreetly mount/wire a fan there...

Where does the fan plug in under the chassis? I am not too familiar with this amp, but most Boogie's will get stuck on the fan plug when you dismount the chassis.

Thanks for the reply, but there is no fan, haha. It's binding on something and I can't figure it out!

Like I said, not too familiar. Another guy had the same problem here a while back. See if you can do a search.

I searched, but the owner of that DC3 didn't post a follow up; so I don't know how he got it out..Oh, well.

Mesa's service rocks. Bob Wolfe (sp?) sent me out a new 12ax7 today. I love these guys!

Alrighty, the verb is back after I pulled that nasty bugger out of v5

Mike Wolf. He is the absolute best at Mesa.

I know you got it fixed, but....


To get the chassis out of my DC-2, I have to pull it straight out. When it binds, I look at each side to see which side is out more.

I basically have to wiggle the chassis while I'm removing it because it fits so tight in the cabinet.

Also, the Nuts on the top of the chassis for the mounting screws hang up sometimes. I have seen many amps with ripped tolex because of this.
