Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 Blown HT Fuse.

That's some pretty high voltage on the plates and screens. Not saying it's wrong, but I wasn't aware DSLs ran that much B+.

I think those voltages were with all tubes removed.

That's without tubes.

In the video it looks like you have the meter set to measure current? You should be measuring milli-volts DC at those test points.

$#%&@!!! That could be the problem. DOH !

[gtrplayr1976]

Your output tube (socket voltages) look reasonable. Do you have a scope? If so, I'd insert a test tone and follow it through the amp to see where signal is getting lost.

I'll give that a go. I DID have my meter set on mA instead of mV ,so that's my mistake. I'll check again tomorrow with the right setting then pull the scope out. Thanks !

Doh, yeah I see that now.

It seems to be working now. I got the bias set ,and I have sound. I'm going to run it a few more hours tomorrow to be sure. Hopefully it holds.

[gtrplayr1976]

Possibly. If the cap was shorting before it went open it may have done it. The schematics don't really show where it goes, but your picture shows it definitely connects to the fuse.

I have it working. I think that cap was a big part of the issue with the fuse blowing. I'll be testing it more over the weekend just to be sure.

[gtrplayr1976]

If you have 16.4R between each pin 3 and OT CT, there's no need to measure pin 3 voltages.
With tubes out pin 3 voltages will be identical to B+ and with tubes in a couple of volts lower.

What is your B+ measured at the OT CT?

I have it working now. We'll see if it lasts. I'll test it more over the weekend to be sure the bias holds steady.

[gtrplayr1976]

Doh, yeah I see that now.

I have it working for now. I'll be testing more over the weekend. Once I got the meter on the right setting I could get the bias right.
