RE: PT that goes "boing" on cold starts

"The Fender Showman Reverb needed a power tranny. Original one blew, partially due to the nominal OEM fuse replace by a 20-amp one."

was it ever determined *why* the fuse was "upgraded" in the first place?

Anyway, that boing sound is the tranny vibrating from inrush current filling up the caps. Did you modify the filter section at all? Upgrade caps? That could be part of it...
