After getting the rectifier tube, the problem still remains as a blown fuse continues and the replacement of the blown fuses continue. The only tube that was able to get warm was the rectifier tube and my Western Electric 300 bees showed signs of life before the fuse did its job. I have contacted Dennis Had and hopefully he will help me.
Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET
I was disappointed this evening, as I was listening and all of a sudden I blew a fuse, and I don’t have a manual. I don’t know if the fuse is a fast blowing fuse, or a slow blowing fuse. The one in there is a two amp, and the fuse itself is a zigzag not a straight fuse I replaced it. And it blew again and I saw the rectifier tube had a reaction when I turned it back on. Does anyone have any experience and can anyone give me some advice thank you.

@moose89 Does the amp blow its fuse if the power tubes are not installed but the rectifier is? |
To Dennis I gave my apologies. I blew up the electrolytic capacitor. I inserted a Cary Bias meter into the jack inlet on board the amp, purely no knowledge on the consequences of THAT action! Dennis took it back, and repaired it, scratching his head on how it could have happened, until we spoke on the phone. |
