I inherited a repair job that I can't get started because I can't get
the damn amp open.

It's a Galaxy Audio Core PA5X140 all-in-one PA. It's a tough little
unit, with a die-cast metal chassis set into a thick rugged plastic
(polypropylene?) case, that can sit on top of a mike stand. Similar to
this one: http://galaxyaudio.com/MSPA.jsp. The front of the chassis
has
6 screws into the case, and there's one on the back I removed, but I
still can't get the chassis out of the case. I tried prying the case,
thinking there might be some cast-in lugs I could open, but no luck,
and
I didn't want to risk chewing up the edge of the case.

Does anyone have any idea how to open up this unit?


At least no one has suggested a Plsma Cutter! ;-)


Nah! "Angle grinder" as they always say over on uk.d-i-y :-)


Angle grinders are for amateurs and wimps. It takes a real prow to
cut something open with a plasma cutter and still have anything left to
repair.



It's a standing joke on that group Michael. "Angle grinder" is the 'silly'
answer when anyone asks for instance how to dismantle a ceramic cartridge
shower valve to clean it, or anything referring to a 'delicate' job. British
humour, and all that ... :-)


And you still don't get American humor. ;-)
