  cab.as an extension with my fender HR.The head snaps the
  fuses every time you turn it on.I know this much about
  its has ll5w and was made in '68 or '69. Any info will
  be greatly accepted.

The diagram is in Pittman's Tube Amp Book.

Pull the all the tubes out and then try to turn
it on. If it still blows a fuse, you've either got
a blown power transformer or blown diode and/or
capacitor in the low voltage (for the transistors)
or bias circuit.

If it doesn't, first suspects are a bad GZ34 tube,
the 20 uF 600V capacitor or shorted choke.
Further down the list are shorted 6550's or
dud output transformer.
