Fender Champion 600 Teardown
ID: 155077
Description:
Steps:
- WARNING: First of all disconnect an amp from the power outlet!
- Please be careful - Tube amps can hold a serious amount of electrical charge that can cause injuries or even death. Avoid touching any wires or contacts with your bare hands or instruments that have no reliable insulation.
- Let's start by removing the rear chassis screws. All of the screws we are going to deal with work nicely with a PH2 bit.
- Then remove two side screws that also hold the amp chassis in place. Those are 4 x 30 mm btw.
- Below the chassis you'll find 4 more phillips screws holding a rear cover in place - remove them as well.
- Now it's time to remove the nuts on the input jacks and our broken volume pot - I used pliers to do that, but it is advisable to use a small adjustable wrench, combination wrench, or socket in order to avoid any unwanted scratches or damage.
- Next let's remove the volume knob - you'll need a flat 2.5 bit for that. Carefully insert the bit into the hole on the rear side of the knob to undo a tiny screw inside of it.
- That's it - chassis is free 👍.
- Hint: use a plastic tray or a magnetic mat to safely store all of those screws and nuts. You can even write where all those parts come from.
- Slightly lift it up and pull towards you with just a hand to access the internals.
- That's it - the amp's chassis is right in front of you.
- Well done 👍
