Thanks for these (varied!) responses. A lot more to consider here than I realized.
The crown seems in pretty pretty good shape based on appearance. Does not have that burnt circuitry odor. The way people in neighboring studios throw things out in this building, I’ve reason to suspect it’s just a fuse replacement. But now I’m concerned.
My use needs for this are just to use in my studio, using an old NAD 3020 for preamp duties only.
The dilemma here is that taking this to a tech might end up costing more than the amp is worth. Unless maybe there’s an inexpensive tech in Brooklyn I need to know about.
If I just procure and insert the correct fuse holder and fuse and then turn it on, what’s the worst that could happen?
thanks again, any thoughts are welcome.
