How to open a Peachtree Nova?

Great point. I think a week in my freezer should easily add $30 to the value.

I know what you mean about the FX10. If I'd seen it powered up first I probably never would have bought it but I'm glad I did. It's a wonderful sounding little amp and exactly what I was looking for. I may have to put a third coat on those LED's, though. What were they thinking?

I unsrewed the feet of the Nova yesterday. I can not slide the interior out of the case even push very hard from the front.I don't want to push too hard to damage the machine.Frustrated!!!!!

I would guess that the finish at the back edge of the exterior case is overlapping the edges of the interior case. That's why Danlib1 cautioned to be careful in chipping the finish. If you really want to get the case open you may have to use an Xacto knife or something similar to trim back the finish beyond the edges of the interior case.

I think the Decco I have is a great sounding integrated with a lot of flexibility but part of the reason it's so reasonably priced is that the construction isn't first-rate. I expect the same thing is true of the Nova.

I have a Nova and changed the tube. I removed all the external screws and gently pushed from the rear, not the front.

Hope this helps,

Rgwris, is correct, push from the rear, not the front. That said, even then it did take some force for mine to slide out. It helps if you have a second pair of hands there to grab a hold of the unit as it slides out, so you don't put any pressure on the case and possibly damage it.
