Marantz 1090 right side fuse blows

[gyrene]

ecluser thank you for staying with me on this.I can say that when the unit plays it is beautiful.My favortie amp right now.
HOWEVER! If a man can get heart sick about a piece of gear...its me...today while attempting to make the adjustments I touched the lead of my DVM across the C&E legs of Q717 and blew the main 3A fuse on the rear of the deck.
Did I kill Q717?

BTW, you should put a pair of mini grabbers on your purchase list.

This is what I was talking about:

You can buy the test clip only, for less than 1$, and make your own test wires.

Maybe your power transistors are damaged now...

Well its done.Got new power transistors in and its running cooler now than it ever did.
I suspect my heat sink job was not so great but it is now!
Sounds so...well...Marantz like!
I love it.I think Saul would too.
Thank you so much ecluser for getting me through this including all my errors and hesitations.
When I registered here I did not know people would help you for free.For the fun of it.For the educational purpose of it all.
Now I do.
Thank you so much.
