Mark V combo random screw

[AndyLewis]

Hi

Just found this screw hanging out of my chassis near the valves.
Has anyone seen this before? Just thought I’d be lazy and ask on here before I take it to pieces
I didn’t just wanna screw it back in cos it feels overly stiff...

That screw puts tension on the chassis, I assume to lessen vibrations and maybe help ground the shielding on the top of the amp. Most Mesa amps have them. Leave it alone.

Thanks- that’s put my mind at ease. I was just a bit worried cos it looked like it was hanging out.
