So my HT-5R combo suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it's the tubes but after a quick research the issue seems to be with the R38/39 resistors.
I'd like to check the circuit board but I can't figure out how to reveal it, as the top wooden part of the amp appears to be glued to the chassis.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried removing the little black screws on the back panel, they maybe what's holding the chassis to the panel?

I tried removing them now but as I suspected these screws are too short and their sole purpose is to support the metallic diagram of the inputs/outputs.

If you've removed the four machine screws holding the chassis to the panel, they are just stuck together. They will come apart. It just takes some patience and some prying.

In this case, if i have to change the power tube with an other one different from stock one, where i have to control the mV values in order to bias it?? Only between cathode R33 and ground (Plate)?
