>lights no fan no nothing...completely dead....no blown fuses...looks like no
>ac power getting into the amp at all....anything further?


**  Start at the input side of the on-off switch, move along toward the 
HV transformer primary, and find out where the mains-V disappears.   If 
you get the amp to start blowing fuses, to save fuses and time, connect 
one 200w - 300w, 120v incandesent lamp across each fuse.  When the lamps 
see a short, they will light and limit I to a safe value, sans-fireworks..
