How to open a Peachtree Nova?

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.

You can give a call to this guy if you dont want to make it yourself,

I think he works for Peachtree Audio. Somebody suggested me before.

I do slide the interior by pushing from the back .Like Danlib1 mentioned , the paint chipped on the front edges.I ruined the case and it's the price of tubing the Nova. Damn it!!!!

Vsfang; do you have the chips? A little elmer's white glue applied judiciously did the trick for me. The 2 chips glued right back in place and you can't even see where it happened. The Nova is wonderful, but the black lacquer hanging over the case lip is a ridiculous oversight in manufacturing. Obviously I was not the only guy that had the issue.

Is retubing the Nova really necessary? I mean those small tubes they use do last a very long time. It's not like power output tubes that have a much more limited life span. All the effort and risk of damaging the case is likely not worth it if the tube is working, right? I'm thinking about getting a nova so I ask this question. Last think I would want to do is have to open the case and retube the thing.
