I have a 200s bass head...and a problem
« on: December 14, 2009, 08:45:32 pm »
I put the power on and then the standby and a few seconds after my fuse blows out! It's the right fuse. We did change the condensator(not sure if it's the right word in english) but the same problem still show up.
Help me out brothers 'cause it sounds great when it works!!!
thank you gentlemen.

  Hi there,take out the output tubes and fire it up again,if the fuse holds,it points to the tubes.Try this with the rectifier tube as well,hope this is of some help.Mel.

Are you sure it's the right fuse? It not only has to be the right size (3 amps), but it has to be a slow blow fuse as well. That caused me a few headaches a year or two ago.

"3 or 3.5?  i think the one for my T was a 3.5" -1

People need to learn how to read a schematic...

Its a 3A slow blow.  The reason your Model T had a different fuse is because that is a totally different amp!
