That so called safety bar has been the cause of many SB220 failures. That
short often takes out the zener ZD1, R-3 and the PS diodes. Ive also seen
the gid chokes RFC-4 and RFC-5 open.
The first thing I would do is toss the MFJ box as it isnt necessary for the
220. Inrush surge is kept to a safe amount by the design of the
transformers.
Check the items I mentioned and then try the amp directly into the wall
outlet. If it works then leave it alone.
