Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Since your electronic knowledge is minimal and apparently limited to fuse replacement, you should IMMEDIATELY defer to a proper tech.

The 'new' amp should be brought up on a variac unless you can get 100% assurance it was in service recently. Your tech should do this.

If I owned the dead amp, I'd check the bridge rectifier before calling in the tech. But that's just me and not something I'd recommend. You do NOT have to plug it in to do an elementary check on this part.
