Hi, long time lurker and finally got a chance to post for the first time.
I've recently acquired an AU-919 with known bad caps that were in need of a replacement so I decided to go through and make it a summer project to restore it, everything has been going smoothly except for when I got around to putting it all back together.
The amp worked fine before the recap but it is now blowing the main fuse as soon as the power switch is switched on. None of the relays actuate, it is an instant fuse blow.
I am not specialized in diagnosing these problems, therefore I come to you and your experience, I have a general knowledge of electronics, but it is more of a hobby to me.
My current assumption is that something is shorting to the case or to ground perhaps? Beats me, what do you think? :scratch2:
Here is the fuse that is blowing up:
