Better than me quoting a book, I have illustrated links:

Watch that there isn't dangerous voltage before you proceed, as per the Fender Forum instructions. Also, if there are black scorch marks on the socket, especially on phenolic plastic, the socket is acting as a conductor by allowing arcing between pins [typo fixed] that aren't supposed to be connected--replace that bugger.

Awesome! I'll definitely have to try that. Sounds A LOT easier than swapping out the sockets if nothing is wrong with them. Cheers dude!!

Skully what did you use to stain the wood on the cab? Looks fucking awesome.

The guy who built it used ebony stain and a few coats of poly over it!

found your next project.

Looks pretty interesting! Don't think the wife would like ANOTHER amp in the house right now though hahah

haha skully how many amps you got right now?

In our tiny 1 bedroom apartment I have the PA100 with 2x12, a 1x12 with the 2 Verellens, and the Dirge amp. The Verellen 1x12 is going to NDominy tomorrow so that'll be one out of the house haha
