When you first start it up, place a 60 watt bulb in series with 120 VAC line in. If a short occurs, the bulb will shine bright & protect the amp internal components. Like Eli stated, first order of business is replacing all electrolytic capacitors. I do not trust any electrolytic cap over 20 years old.
