H/K Citation 16A blowing Channel B Fuse

[FranzS.]

Hello,

I just got gifted a Harman Kardon Citation 16A and the guy I got it from said it has been partly revised 4 or 5 years ago and then worked fine but one channel kept dropping out under load so he retired it.
Now I plugged it in upon receiving it today (did a visual check for leaking caps or similar) and the Channel A (left) powered on with a slight "click" but Channel B (right) did not show any signs of life.
I then looked on the bottom accessory hatch again and found a blown Fuse (2A 250V Slow blow) and I thought ok lets swap the fuse from Channel A to B wich unfortunately led to another Blown Fuse.

I hope the Post is in the right Forum as this is my first time posting here.

Greetings from Germany,

Franz

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Do you know if the two channels are wired for stereo mode, or they are bridged?
There should be three fuses for each channel. Which one of the three blows in channel B?

Hello, the Amp is wired for stereo afaik (the previous Owner told me it has been used in stereo) the fuse that blows is the 2A 250 one at the back (I circled it in the attached photo).
I hope that the informations help and many thanks for the help so far!
