There are screws (two on each side) accessed from the back of the amp. You’ll need to remove the back panel first, have a long Phillips screwdriver and possibly remove a tube or two to gain access. It shouldn’t be glued in - that would suck it if it was! Last edited: Mar 19, 2025 10:21:06 |

I would wear electrical gloves while doing this. —MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. New EP Louder Than Life available on bandcamp and website. |

Another thing you could try, though I have not done it myself, is use a heat gun on the loose grille cloth. I have heard from reputable sources that it shrinks up when heated. Obviously you’d want to be careful doing this and try at lowest possible temps first. Like maybe experiment with a hairdryer first or with a remnant not on your actual Showman. |
