This may be too obvious to mention. Anyway, I was whining in another venue that I wanted to adjust the HV on my RCA CTC-11, but the adjuster was under the chassis and I was too lazy to build extension harnesses. Someone pointed out that you can often turn a chassis sideways and connect everything with the original wiring.

Duh! Time out while I slap my forehead

I wouldn't do a lot of soldering like this, but it beats muscling the chassis in and out of the cabinet every time you want to check/adjust some little thing.

The second pic shows a daffy moment 10 years ago when I convinced my wife it would be fun to help hoist the RCA 21T227 cabinet onto my workbench. Can't tell you how many honey-do hours I spent working that one off!
