How to open a Peachtree Nova?

I have the Peachtree Decco and if the construction is the same the way you do it is to take out the screws that hold the feet to the case. That will free the outer case from the interior metal case and allow you to slide the interior out from the rear by pushing on the front.

On my Decco a thin line of the exterior finish around the rear edges was acting as a glue to hold the two together even after the screws were removed but I was able to work it free.

Thanks for your reply!!!!!!

You're welcome. It baffled me for awhile.

If the Nova is like the Decco and has an obnoxiously bright LED under the center of the tube socket you can put a couple of drops of fingernail polish on the LED to tone it down or change the color. The Decco has a bright yellow LED which looks nothing like the real glow of a tube but I put two coats of dark red polish on it, waiting for the first one to dry before applying the second, and the result is a much nicer, soft orange.

I swapped the tube in the Decco for a Telefunken 7DJ8/PCC88, which works fine, but I can't honestly say I can hear much difference between it and the stock tube. Since the 7DJ8/PCC88 tubes work just as well as the 6DJ8, and they're often easier to find at reasonable prices, you might consider them for tube rolling.

Be careful when you do this... if your unit is gloss black the paint chips VERY easily on the edges as you slide the unit out of the cabinet.
