[Amps] 811H pops fuses

[Carl]

Ameritron has the lowest prices last time I bought. If you have the wrong 
transformer taps selected it is easy to exceed the cap ratings.
The manual is very clear about not exceeding 1700V.

If they are set for 1700V or less at standby Id suggest asking them for a 
free replacement. Ive had several fail right out of the box on a bench PS 
test and they claimed CD sent them bad caps.
