And at the risk of telling you something you already know-- you can get a 
look under here without taking the amp out, actually. Usually the only 
thing I have to disconnect before tipping the amp over on its side is the 
expression pedal linkage. Make sure you reconnect the yellow ground wire if 
it was connected by means of one of the four mounting screws. You can then 
turn the thing on, and being very careful not to get zapped, use something 
with a plastic shaft to jiggle those connections. If you get your fingers 
near that spot with the organ on, the hum will be scary.
