RM9 won't turn on - switch?


My RM9 won't  power up.  I pulled the bottom covered and didn't see any mainline fuses.  Is the switch the likely culprit?

We could have sent you one as we have a good stock of replacement parts for the RM-9, 10, and 200, but glad you found a switch(es). In the future if you need replacement parts let us know.
Yup.  Checked the power switch with meter and it was open in both switch positions.  Its a MkII, found some switches on Amazon but had to buy 15 for $7.  Must be really good at that price.
The 5A fuse does affect the lighting of the filaments. If this fuse is blown the amp will look like it is off. The 1A fuses (one per channel) affect B+ only. If one is blown you will not be able to bias the output tubes for that channel, but you can still balance the drivers.

Sounds like you have a MkI and the issue could be the power switch as well, especially if you have the square switch which will fail. The rectangular switches were much more reliable. Check the connections to the switches as well.
Yes, there are 3 fuses. 2 (1A) fuses (probably in the bias circuit) and a 5A fuse which probably is in the filament circuit. They looked good but I will check with a meter.
The filaments don’t light which is why suspect problem in the mains.
IIRC, there's definitely glass fuses in there somewhere. I owned an RM-9 25 years ago and remember having to replace fuses. On mine they were right out in the open, in chrome-plated fuse holders.
 I'm not familiar with your amp but there is a good possibility that a failed tube took out a resistor or fuse in the bias circuit.
