Blue Stripe Mark III blowing fuses

[Alex EShadow]

Hey Guys,

I need some tech help here. I was playing the other day with my Mark III and everything was fine. It is a short combo that i have deassembled and rackmounted using the mesa rackmount kit.

Next time I tried to play it, when going from Standby to Full Power, it blew a fuse. Tried replacing it 5 times, and all of them were blown.

All tubes seem to have a normal glow, nothing smells funky or whatever, so I'm wondering what could be the problem?

Thanks for any help,

Alex

Blown fuses are usually caused by bad power tubes. Even if they seem fine there might be something wrong with them. Try another set and see if the problem comes back.

+1... Make sure nothing was spilled in or on it as well.. But it's probably a bad tube.....
