I have a 50s Gretch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman 2x12 with power amp on the floor and preamp up top. The back panel does not appear to come off. There are two screws on ech side, but it doesn't look like the chassis would clear the speakers if dropped down. Does anyone have experience with getting one of these open? I haven't tackled it yet because it looks to be a sprawled out bear of situation, and I'm waiting for a time when I have a cleared bench to deal with it. It has the greatest tremolo I have ever heard.

It's weird, because it WAS working fine..... -
I have a Gretsch 2x12 but another model, Valco made so most likely same cabinet. I got this as a cabinet with no guts, homemade valco of another model inside now, so i don't remember if i put the screws in the back or they were already there, this does use the wood blocks and chassis bolt screws are on the sides. The back has to come out some way but maybe you have to pull the chassis? Valco made amps have the model stamped on the bottom inside.

This one looks a lot like that, except the back panel extends to the bottom with a large opening in the center. My model is 6160. Strange beast.It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....Comment

To answer my own question, you have to remove the front speaker baffle to get at the top chassis. Odd design.It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....Comment
