Mesa Boogie Mark V - Preamp Tube Replacement (Quick Summary)

After searching weeks online and not finding anything, I decided to figure this out and supply my findings here for others searching for the same answers. My video presents one method. I note others but only illustrate one - the easiest and safest. This is not meant to be a full comprehensive lesson but I'm hopeful that it will help you find the missing pieces holding you back from changing your preamp tubes.

I bounce around a little with side notes and tips - watch the whole video to grasp the entire concept.

TIP: The protective grill for the tubes is shown at the very end of the video. This is about changing PREAMP tubes yet does show many points regarding the power amp tubes as well. This is why I skipped over the grill in the beginning - I figured you knew that from changing your power tubes in the past.
