Hi again guys. I'm so stoked with my new old K200b-5. It sounds amazing. Of course during our first full practice with it, the bulb blew out. I searched the forum for the replacement bulb and found it but do I have to take the chassis out to change the bulb? The plastic and metal jewel doesn't seem to screw off and I don't want to damage it.
I totally get why people love these amps. I'm now a huge fan. The headroom and dynamics are incredible on my 52 Tele reissue. Wow!

If you ever get a chance try out a k250 head and you may just fall in love even deeper!
In regards to the buld you need to unscrew the jewel from the front.
Take a pair of plyers and line the jaws with two layers of electrical tape , then grab the jewel at the searations and unscrew it counter clock wise.
The buld is a number 1829, and to remove it you must push it in and turn it , then it will spring out some.
Note that some new replacement bulbs are a tad shorter then the stocker which can make removing the bulb a pain so what I have done is drill a fat section of wood dowl out to a shallow depth and then put a scrap of double sided tape in the shallow hole and then I am able to get the old buld out, or a new shorter buld in.
I have also had it happen that a new buld was never loaded in fully and popped out all of a sudden.
