Greetings,
I've been reading the amp reflector for about a year now, and
learning a lot. Now I have a problem that I need help with.
My 422 TenTec Centurion has worked fine for several years. I haven't
used it all summer, but decided to turn it on last night. As soon
as I turned the power switch on, both primary line fuses blew along
with the circuit breaker. No smoke, and no visible damage after
inspecting it inside and out. I took a reading across the 220V line
cord (unpluged of course) with the fuses replace and read 6.6 ohms. Is
this normal? Any ideas? The only thing I did before applying power
was switching the standby switch from operate to standby.
TNX, Denis, W4DC
