Tubemeister 36 COMBO (Back Panel Removal)

Hi all,

Anyone with experience with the combo version of the TM36? How in gods name do you remove the rear panel from the amp. I have just about every screw out of the whole exterior and it is still stuck fast... Is it glued on?

I want to swap the vintage 30 to get rid of the brittleness in the sound.

Thanks in advance.

Ah yes, I was faced with this too. Wanted to replace the china tubes with a set of JJs. You're not doing it wrong... With all the screws removed the back is free, however it is like it's vacuum sealed. I took a very thin blade knife and gently pried the back seams until I could get a finger grip and remove it all the way. It's is super tight.
