[Amps] MLA-2500 Problem

[Don Knight]

MLA-2500 blowing fuses at power on:

Well I'm not a tech so that's the reason for the questions but I did do some checking. I pulled both of the 8875's out and tried to power it up again and it still blows the fuse. There was a very strong odor coming from the caps and after close inspection it appears that they were venting. Brown goo coming out of the bottom of three of the caps thru the vent holes. I'm hoping that it didn't destroy anything else in the amp. The amp was working perfect lastnight but this morning when I turned it on I did notice a rather large grunt from the power supply at turn-on that I was not hearing before. It did power up ok and worked fine until I turned it off again later on in the day and tried to turn it on again. This time the grunt was more severe and this is when it started blowing fuses. I'm hoping it's just the caps gone south? I did order 6 new caps and I already had new bleeders ready to go in. Any and all info welcome.

                                                    Thanks,Don
