Care and Maintenance

If plexiglass panels need cleaning, use only a soft clean, and dry 100% cotton cloth to wipe off 
smudges with just a little pressure to avoid scratching. If needed dampen the cloth with a little

water, or use Novus brand plastic polish. Avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaning products as they 
may cause the acrylic to “bloom.” Also avoid the ubiquitous “microfiber” cloths, which can 

leave lint and/or tiny scratches the plexiglass in some cases since they vary so greatly in 
quality.

Periodically check the 4 mounting screws on the bottom to make sure they are tight. These 

screws secure the chassis to the head cabinet, and also insure contact to the aluminum RF 
shielding plate inside the cabinet.

If possible, move the amplifier when the tubes have had the chance to cool down for a couple 

minutes. Because the tubes get very hot, the elements inside become more vulnerable to 
physical damage until the tubes have cooled. In general, try to move the amp off stage last.
