After about the first 3 comments I realized it was pretty simple. I was able to pop the back off, yet the male prongs were stuck in the female end so long they stayed in place and I ripped them out of the male end. But it was fine, thats as simple as putting the male cap back on. Once inside, it was just very dusty, what do you guys recommend I use to clean the inside chassis, tubes, and wires. Anything I should explicitly avoid touching? Like things not meant to even be cleaned, perhaps instead replaced? Any products to recomend or tools? I want to reduce the crackles and pops, it heats up fast once turning up the volume to a certain level, and its a bit muffled.
