Hi all!
I stupidly tried a solid state rectifier in my Twinmaster and immediatly blew the fuse upon taking the amp off standby. The panel indicated a 1.6amp, 250v, T-type fuse replacement. My local Radio Shack had everything but the "T" (but said slow-blow). The only difference I could see was that the wire going through the cylinder was smaller. The original one had a wire like a wound D string wereas the new one is the size of a high E string. Not everytime but maybe every other I blow a fuse upon powering up. I spoke with Jeff Bober at Budda and he said to try removing the power tubes and trying it (it was OK) Then the rectifier. It seemed to be OK without those in place. Just to be sure I ordered new power and rectifier tubes, popped them in and I'm still blowing.
Do I need to source out a fuse with the beefier wire? If so, where can I get them from Online?
I appreciate any help!!!!!
Thanks
