Where is the AC fuse located on the SLI-80


I own a Cary Amp SLI-80 and all of a sudden it does not turn on at all. According to the manual there is an AC fuse inside, but after removing the bottom plate, I cannot find any fuses at all. Wiring goes from the power transformer thru a couple of diodes directly into the pins of the rectifier tube. What's going on?

Oh my.... good call. I would have never found it. At my age I needed a magnifying glass to see the darn thing.  THANK YOU very much.

If I may ask another question: Is it a good move to get a UPS to "protect" the amp from spikes and brown-outs? We live in Florida with lots and lots of lightning activity.

What occured to me - and correct me if my logical reasoning is off - is that if I buy an UPS which comes with a strip which has battery backup and another strip which only has spike protection, I can connect my amp to the "spike protection" side and my other components on the battery backup side. I think that might work.
sfar & millercarbon: you-all made me laugh. You are right about the lightning; I was thinking more about spikes and brown-outs, which are quite common in our part of FL.  Notwithstanding, I will take your advise and "unplug" when necessary. Thanks again for your help.
