Hello,
New to forum but longtime JBL fan and owner of a pair of Sovereign IIs. I will pick your collective brains on those later, but I have a more immediate problem. I'm preparing a pair of Heathkit AS-101s for sale and am having difficulty removing the back panels of the cabinets. Screws all extract cleanly but the panels are still solidly in place. It almost feels like they are glued AND screwed. I gingerly tried using a skinny pry bar but the chipboard panel just wants to flake away. I also tried inserting a fatter screw in the existing holes and pulling, but the screws want to pull through the material. My main reason for needing to get in the cabs is to clean the 'HF Balance' pots. I'd also like to do a visual inspection of the drivers (although I think they're fine). Has anyone out there run into this same dilemma? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
