Very staticy right with speedball

Pretty much all of the readings are off. But i use terminal 12 as ground, which is the same terminal that the bad cap is on.

Please post the terminal numbers and voltages/resistances so we can get a picture of how your amp is operating.  (Resistances only if that cap is getting hot quickly)

   .  .  .   I have the fuse installed if that's what you mean. 

Nope, I meant that the fuse should blow if something on the primary side of the transformer were miswired.  And it should blow if something on the secondary side of the transformer shorts.  If you have the right size fuse in it.

Go with the resistance check first.  The capacitor will not smoke for that.  If there are issues, and there should be, report back.  Then on to voltage checks.
