So how do you GET to them? The power tube PCB is upside-down, and attached to the chassis by the tube sockets, which are riveted in. The only obvious way to remove the board (without removing the rivets) is to desolder the octal sockets, which I'm more than a little hesitant to do. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!

Got it - I just found your post about drilling the rivets out. Sounds icky, but most of the rivets are shot and wiggly anyway so it couldn't hurt. Any recommendations for a rivet-gun to put them back in? Will a standard hand-held work?
