Curiosity got the better of me. However I go about doing this, nothing can be decided until the amp is removed from the Kustom and I have a look around.
First of all, with the black rear timber panel removed exposing the innards of the amp:
The amp was attached to the cab via one screw in each of the rear plastic corner guards on top. Also, it appears there's a kind of wall behind the speaker. There are four screws going through the back of the chassis into that wall.
Here's what it looks like with the amp removed.
Whether I
- install the new amp in the same orientation with valves pointing in, or
- lay it flat across the top with valves pointing down
...that wall has to go. I'm thinking I'll go with option 2 to avoid heat issues. I have one concern with that approach though. There's something next to the speaker near the top of the cab which could potentially get in the way. Any idea what the Dickens this is?
