Members Saint Frank Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Before laughing, this is a VC so a nice, inexpensive tube amp. It keeps blowing the 250mA fuse. Anyone know what this fuse is protecting so I can fix the problem? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LedZep77 Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Could be a bad power tube. Have you tried swapping those out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have but I can only do two at a time as I only have two extra power tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Saint Frank Posted May 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Originally posted by Bloozcat Anyone near you with a tube tester? I wish. I've been looking for some place near me since I got the amp and a bunch of vintage tubes. I read in an amp debugging page to pull all of the power tubes and run the amp to see if the fuse still blows to see if the problem is actually the tubes. I guess that's my next step.
