Title: Doh! What did I do?
Post by: TexasRugger on October 09, 2011, 12:07:57 PM

Went to power up my trusty Crack last night and had no luck.   Turned out fuse was blown.  Figured it was just a fluke and tried a new fuse today.  Powered it up and same thing.   

The amp worked fine last time I listened to it last week, and I've done nothing to it since then.  Any ideas on what to do next?  Thanks,

Best place to start is resistance checks. Redo the measurements in the manual and see if anything has changed.

Thanks Doc.  Went through and checked the resistance levels as listed in the manual.   Everything OK.  Just to make sure, fuse is 500mA, fast?   All solder joints still look nice and clean.... any ideas of where to go next?  Thank you much!

Thanks Doc!   Working now, and I'm basking in the glory of vacuum tube light.   Appreciate the help!
