Ok i see i'm using a GFE type fuse when i should be using a GDC type
fuse i was gonna ask how to tell the difference.
I almost missed that line above my quote.

So i guess a GFE fuse is just an ordinary run of the mill every day
fuse And a GDC would be a slow blow.

Now are Time Delayed and Slow Blow fuses the same thing or are they
different.

They are in principle the same thing but a US 'slo-blo' and a European/International
'T' have slightly different fusing characteristics. Not different enough to worry
about in this case though.

Man you know how much this would cost me if i was to take a course and
my local collage to find this stuff out

LOTS !

I think we narrowed it down to me having to use the proper fuse. Which
obviously i am not using in the amp

I'm surprised this didn't happen along time ago. Maybe because of the
new part that was installed.

What type was it before that part failed though ? It was probably originally the right
type.

The fuse that went when all this trouble started was the same type
that i'm replacing 250V 6.3A
No "T" type or slow blow. I never had a fuse go until i had the
problem with the output.

You were just lucky I reckon in that case.


I'm about to turn the amp on right now and see what happens. I'm gonna
check and see if i can get the 7A slow blow fuse from the repair shop
I checked radio shack and they didn't have them in the mini fuses

Forget 7 amps, it's a non-preferred value and not ultra-critical anyway.

Just get a 20mm 6.3A slow-blow ( T ) fuse. I gave you a link to Radio Shack's part number
for it earlier if you can't get it anywhere else.
