Default Yamaha EMX66M mixer-amp

Arcing/sparking wiring/mains-outlet at a venue. Lead to vaporised and
neat silvery metal condensed ring and then black deposit in 4A(T)
internal mains fuse, presumably something like 50A to do that.
I've had full 240V on the isolated mains Tx and nothing obviously awry
DVM-D&R cold testing the amp. I intend replacing the 0.1uF yellow block
polycarbonate? cap across the primary and doing an autopsy on it.
Hopefully there will be an obvious patch of spark eroded metalisation
inside it. Anything else to consider,assuming the PA is ok, I may add a
NTC in line as a toroidal TX, not included in the design.
