The joys of getting old


 

I went to tune my 425 and had the Pegasus output set for 20 watts.

 

Well, I forgot to check the output when using the “Tune” button, and that
was 100 watts. There was a loud pop (not a snap, mind you) in the RF deck
and the main fuses blew. Just in case, I replaced the fuses and as soon as I
hit any drive, the same “pop” and blown fuses.

 

I would say the fault occurred about one second into the overdrive. I
couldn’t get the mouse on the button quickly enough to prevent it.

 

So what’s the consensus? Tubes only? Or do I look for something else as
well?

 

Thanks,

Art
