The fuses that are blown are the two clear 10A fuses on the left side of the fuse board (the front of the reciever is facing me).
I do not know if the ceramic 10A fuses are blown or not (located near the middle of the fuse board, oriented front to back of receiver). I suppose I could test those using my multimeter. What is the reason that ceramic fuses were used in place of the clear type? The rating is identical. Are there pros or cons to the ceramic type, or are they for a specific application?
I may try the test described above by removing the preamp board. Even though the description sounds easy, this is much more ambitious than any of my previous tampering with electronics. I would hate to mess this thing up. If I find out the output transistors are gone (which sounds like the better scenario of the two), is this a DIY type project?
Thanks again for all the help. This is a great site.
