I never had a problem with it until one of the 100A Buss Fuses died in the
service entrance panel to the house.  The house was built in the '60s and I
bet the fuses date from that time.  maybe not.  Anyway, I replaced both fuses
and the amp immediately started up.  Hard to get used to the fact that those
$15 1" diam x 3" long fuses can actually go bad.  could have been a spike
from somewhere along the mains in the neighborhood.

but thanks for asking, sorry I did not make that clear.
