Blown fuse in Majove Plexi 45
Hi All
I imported a second hand Mojave Plexi 45 from a guy here in the emporium from the US to Australia. It was well packed and seemed to arrive OK. The tubes were wrapped up well and taken out of the sockets. When I put everything in and turned on the mains, the amp gave an audible hum, which I thought was unusual for this quality amp, and then about two seconds later the pilot light went out and the amp was silent....and dead. Its blown the 2A fuse in the power socket plug. Mojave has a neat arrangement where you can access it easily. I am going to replace the fuse and try again. If it blows it again I had read that you can take all the tubes out and put them back one-by-one to see if it is one of the tubes. I might try this before I take it to a qualified amp tech. It has 3 x 12AX7's, 2 x KT66 and 1 x GZ34. Which order should I put them back in? When looking into the amp from the back going left to right you have the 12AX7's, the two KT66's in the middle, and the GZ34 over on the right. If you guys think I should not risk it and just take it straight to a repairer then tell me. I am a noob in this area. Andrew |
