Hi Tom,
I took mine apart... I don't recommend trying to do it with the amp still assembled. That said, it's pretty easy to do so and you only need a few screwdrivers, if I remember correctly.
Take out the chassis and the board that the speakers are screwed into. I think I left all the speakers still attached to the board. Also be sure to take out the grille... You don't want to get shellac on the grille cloth.
Bill

Cheers Bill, is it absolutely necessary to take the amp apart to do this or can it be done without.
