This is a common problem in old Alphas.
F3 is a protection fuse in case the step-start
relay fails to close in its allotted time.

Check K2 and R2 for failure/burning

> Hello to all,

> I have an Alpha 77dx that had been working fine until yesterday.

> Now when I turn on the amp there is no high voltage. (There is about 230
> volts per the Alpha meter). The  blower runs but the amp will not switch
> into the "standby mode". I checked the fuses and  the 2 amp "F3" fuse had
> blown. I replaced this fuse with another 2 amp "slow blow" fuse. Powering up
> the amp again resulted in another blown fuse after about 3 seconds.
