RE: Some fiddling and some discoveries...

Manny,

You noted the voltage and size of the fuse you tried, but not the amp rating. And I'm not sure what you mean by "one of the fuses had blown." There's only one fuse in the circuit. If there's a place to put another fuse in the fuse drawer, it's just a place to store an extra.

Since you're wiring the output of your transformer in parallel to get 15 volts, that particular transformer can draw up to 1.66 amps. So if you had a fuse rated at 1 amp or less in there, that could possibly explain it blowing, although there should be very little amp draw with no load connected to the power supply. Methinks there might be something else wrong, but check first and see what value the fuse was that blew.
