[HAM] 716 Leslie/now 720

[Jerry Fowler]

A blown fuse doesnt always mean a problem, beyond a weak fuse.

Was the fuse old?
Had you recently transported or moved the leslie thus jarring the fuse?
Have you tried another fuse?

Let it blow at least 1 more before you go crazy taking apart an amp that
might not be broken...
