Hi folks,
My Mark IIB keeps blowing fuses.At first I thought it was a bad power tube as the middle pin was broken and the glass was exposed but I replaced the fuse,powered it up in stand by with the output tubes removed and it stayed on.I put it into stand by and then in to "play" mode again and the fuse blew again so it isn't a tube issue.
The amp is going in for a tune up/filter cap replacement but I wouldn't mind knowing what could be causing it to blow fuses like this all of a sudden?
This has just started happening recently.
Thanks.
 
If it blows the fuse with the power tubes removed,it is either a shorted filter cap or a shorted rectifier or a bad PT.
