No, you don't want to open those cases for those amps, they're quite old and 
many the bleeder resisters were not put in right, or have gone bad and if 
that's the case, the voltages can be lethal. When I have to open mine, I'm 
going to have someone in the area I know and trust with that stuff to it for 
me.
