[TenTec] Help--Dead Corsair II

[Phil Chambley, Sr.]

You should examine the fuse when you remove it, and if it is blown
catastrophically (black inside, etc.) there is a good chance you have a
shorted final transistor.  In any event, you need to check the resistance on
the output side of the fuse to determine if there is a short.
