Maybe Jeff and Tinman can help you out with tI have been on the fence of getting my malfunctioning Concept 5.5 done over or not. I will have to remember this thread in case I do decide. It will probably be the malfunctioning Sansui Model 8 that will go out first. At this point I am paying for the new lenses that were put in my eyes. Medicare pays for some but not all types of lenses and they are expensive. I could have bought a couple of SX-1250s instead.
Blown amp? Would it NOT power up with a blown amp? This thing has no pulse. No lights, no fuzzy hum, nothing. I put a 3A fuse in to see if power was coming through the cord and the it fried.Those are great units.
My bet is a blown amp. Last owner blew the fuse. I'm betting you blew a new fuse.
If you don't set up a dim bulb tester and use it, you are just going to keep blowing fuses.
Since you don't know the things I just listed, I recommend you either find a vintage tech to work on it or sell it as is.
If we knew where you are, we may know someone capable of working on it.
I work on them but not I do not know if any of the other techs or fixers here do. They are sort of rare.
