I will still be waiting for fuses for a while, but I have checked all tubes with an ohm meter, and checked to fuses on the current source tubes. Nothing unusual. of course, it may be that the low voltage of the ohm meter may show nothing that occurs at high voltage. Still, at only a few hundred volts, there wouldn't be any significant dielectric breakdown, I would think. Am I wrong?
Fuse Blowing on Superamp AE 25
Hello!
My AE 25 suddenly blew the main AC (2 amp sloblo) fuse. I took off the bottom cover and can find nothing that looks like a problem - no swollen components, no melting anywhere, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this? I am waiting for mail-order fuses now, and will put in a new one and try it, but it will be two weeks before they arrive. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if this is a common problem - maybe an AC spike that did it if the normal operating current is close to 2 amps? Any experience with this out there?
