Mesa Mark V sneaky or annoying?

[drewl]

Anyone work on one of these yet?

FYI, there's a bolt under the power trans you need to loosen the lock nut then screw the bolt down away from the chassis to remove it from the head shell.

A more annoying version of the dampener screw on older models.

Christ this thing is packed with stuff.
you need skinny fingers just to turn the knobs.

I vote that these amps are 'annoying'.
PITA to work on, yes.

I'm happy when these come in for re-tube or broken knobs ONLY. Actually I've never gotten a V but have had a couple IIIs and IVs. Mark V must be even worse I would assume.
