Blew a fuse the other night and it either shattered in the fuse socket or crumbled when I took it out. :scared: I dump it out and shop vac'd the broken glass. I know how to re-tube and bias and have the tools, my uncle is also an electrical engineer so I can ask for general electrical guidence from him too. I'm just looking for some guidelines from the amp guru's. :rock:
I'm wondering if their other damage to the amp or tubes? I don't know if the tubes are still good or how to tell either? :confused: It is just the outer pair that the fuse/blown tube light lite up on. It also still worked after the blown fuse light lite up.
What size of fuse and what type of fuse should I use (ceramic -vs- glass) I think it is a 0.5 amps?
 
Ceramic 0,5 amps slow blow.

If the fuse blows again replace power tubes
and bias it. If You are not skilled call a tech.
 
Thank you Papa D! I'll let you know if I have any problems.
 
Just a blown fuse. Seems to work fine now.

What are some causes for a blown fuse?
 
It was a short on the power tubes.
Please hit the power tubes slightly
when they are hot. If they flashes
or get red plating replace them.
