Yep. If I remember right they say it takes 400 degree heat to break red thread lock free. I've actually had to heat bolts till red hot to break them free with the red.

Drilling out should work though but you might have to go a hair bigger than the screw and tap some new threads.

Best you film it out, or why did you threading in the "memeber vid sction", or find a hot enough filmbulb to burn it out.

You can drill it out from front, solder a peace of remotewire in and grimp a wire connector threw it http://www.google.de/imgres?start=168&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:de-DE:official&hl=de&biw=1018&bih=526&tbm=isch&tbnid=adudjBOBvIhaXM:&imgrefurl=http://www.lowes.com/pd_135688-12704-770313_0__%3FproductId%3D3363054&docid=34R6-ezMvK_0HM&imgurl=http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/783250/783250683208lg.jpg&w=276&h=276&ei=srM-UrugFovZsgbDs4DgDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=131&dur=2677&hovh=220&hovw=220&tx=85&ty=243&page=9&tbnh=148&tbnw=148&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:80,s:100,i:244

What is film it out,what does that mean. i may try the drill bit method. and the soldiering gun method.

[ham4864]

i think i can drill the front out melt some soldier put some 8 gauge in there and pour the melted soldier in there.

[Kyblack76]

easy out, or left handed bit.

[ncochran]

If you can't get it out, I would just drill a hole in the set screw (through the side/input part) like posted above and leave a 6 inch piece of wire sticking out (like a direct lead) and connect your remote turn on to that. Not the pretiest option, but you paid $40 for the amp, it will work, and it is just a remote turn on wire. Seems like a win if all else fails.

An easy out might get it out, but it might not be able to break your thread lock. I would try that first.

[ham4864]

i think thats the best option i have to pick up a fresh drill bit.

[ham4864]

i drilled it out best i could then i melted some soldier- stuck the wire in the hole then poured the soldier in there.
