You should remove the fuse and bring it with you to make sure that you replace it with the correct one. There are slow-blow and fast-blow type fuses. BTW, I have never seen an amp with such a high value fuse!
Guys, this is part of the issue I am asking about in my other thread...
....I am trying to be proactive here. I want/need to buy some 15-20 amp fuses for my B&K amplifiers. These are the kind that fit into the fuse holder on the back and screw in. Once upon a time, these were easy to find. Now, not so much. The fuse has to fit into the screw-in receptical on the amplifier. Any idea where I could get new fuses that will do the trick?
Thanks!

Most are in the 3-5 amp range slow blow in some, charging caps and bringing transformers up. Valves may have more protection a second fuse fast blow on the bias circuit. A Valve goes nutty on it's last turn on cycle, POP and hopefully the FB will pop too. .5 to 1 amp or something.. OR turn the bias up to quick when re biasing.. POP! |

Although it’s unusual, there are amplifiers with larger fuses, including the Conrad Johnson Premier 1B, which does have a 15A slo-blo on the 120VAC line. |
