    Marshall TSL60 tube heater circuit

    Hello all
    Been having a problem with the heater fuse inside on the circuit board blowing.
    It is a Marshall TSL60 about 12 years old.
    This has happened twice in the past 3 months.
    I posted in another area on here already.
    I was hoping someone could tell me where i can get a schematic of the heater circuit.
    Thank You

    Search for the TSL60 schematic , it should include the heater wiring.

    EDIT: there you have it:

    Cluttered schematic, oh well.
    They feed 6.3V AC "Fil 1 / 2" to Power and PI tubes, then rectify with a Bridge and 2 10000 x 6.3V capacitors, getting "Fil A / B" for the others, but the input tube seems to be fed through a flying wire (dotted line) and has its own extra 10000 x 6.3V filter.
    IŽd pull the 6.3A fuse and measure AC current across the fuseholder terminals, without tubes and then inserting them one by one, until I find something unexpected.
    Any AC consumption without tubes is abnormal.
    Good luck.
    Please post results.

    Thanks for your info.
    I did search and found a link to the schematic.
    Am waiting to get the switch then will start testing the circuit.
    It is very intermittent but a current test is the place to start.
    Thanks for the information.

    I'd say the place to start would be to slip a different set of power tubes in there and see if it makes a difference.

    My surmise is that one of the power tubes is occasionally failing with a short to heater.
    Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.
