inrush surge
"Mark Zacharias"
Could it be the fuse was rated for 240 volt operation (at 1/2 the value)
and being used on 120 volts?
I often see this - 240 volt operation ha a fuse 1/2 the value of that for
120 volt operation.
** I see the reverse sometimes, mainly with 1960s Fender guitar amps.
The AC tranny has been replaced long ago to suit use in Australia - but the
fuse holder labelling is still for the USA.
