IEC connector location

[MrBreeze]

I’m considering substituting an IEC connector to the chassis instead of standard power cord. I just realized it would be quite close to the rectifier tube. Grabbing in there to unplug might be a bad idea. Any thoughts?

Depends on the amp. Ive used them on blues jr rebuilds with no issue.

Pics of the plan would help.

DON'T DO IT! Ain't worth it for a 5F2A.

Yea I’m agreeing. It would only be an inch away from the rectifier tube on the 5F2A. No other option unless it’s mounted in the cabinet.
