Changing tubes in C1100
Does anyone know how to access the front tubes in a C1100? Is by removing the top panel, or does the front panel need to come off? I didn't see it mentioned in the userguide.
Many thanks, Lul |

Great find! You may also have to loosen one side panel for the top to slide off... At least you generally do with a C2300.

I love the way my C1100 sounds with the stock tubes - dead quiet, so I haven't opened the cover to look.

Oh i don't intend to do any tube rolling, just in case a tube dies i wanted to know how/what to open up, especially for the front tubes. Thanks for that picture by the way
