I see your confusion. Ron was not taking about the power cord or speaker wires. The rubber-covered wires we are talking about on inside of the chassis. Once you remove it, you will be able to turn it over or up on one side and see the internal wiring and other components mounted under the chassis.

Before you remove the chassis, make sure that the tuning knob is turned so that the aluminum plates of the tuning capacitor are fully meshed, to help avoid bending them.
