[HAM] Leslie working ( sort of) ( 25 and L100 ) distortion , blown fuse

[David Damroze]

I got the connector hooked into the L100 by basically copying the 
connections from the M3.
  I guess that the solution to the electrical being constantly on is to 
plug the organ into a
power strip and just turn the whole thing off when done . Right ?
  Anyway , I fired everything up and the 25 started spinning and 
everything was playing okay
  except with a very staticy , as opposed to overdriven ,kind of 
distortion and less output than I would have expected.
  (In spit of this, I am now officially hooked on leslies ) .
  So  , I put everything together , move the organ and Leslie back into 
place , vacuum up
the miscellaneous bits of wire insulation and solder splots out of the 
carpet.
  Pat myself on the back for getting stuff hooked up , turn everything 
on and
--no more Leslie ( waaah!)
The rotor is spinning but no sound. I check the booster amp - no pretty 
tubes lit up .
  Turns out the fuse is blown.
  So , I disconnect the booster amp and play through the cabinet 
connector.
  I get pretty whirly sound , at lower volume of course , but still a 
lot of static distortion when
  I push the expression pedal past about half.
  So , some questions -

  What should I check before replacing the blown fuse in the booster amp 
?
  What should be my prime suspects for the staticy distortion with and 
without booster amp ?
