bob at r b service lytle tx. most frequent problem i have found is bad transformers, they dont like low voltage ie being run on extension cords etc, hope this helps ----- Original Message ----- From: "al m" <ampm@xxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 12:40 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Marshal guitar amplifier model valvestate 2000? > I took this in because my friend can't find anyone to fix it. It blows line fuse at turnon. I unplugged the output board and fuse is ok. Plugging the board back in blows fuse and hot smell coming from outputs. My question to you amp experts is, is there anything else I should check before putting new amps in? Never worked on these before. > al marquardt > ampm@xxxxxxx > Al Marquardt Electronic Repair > 206 W Main > Girardville Pa. 17935 > **************************************************************************** * > Classifieds!
