I didn't mean to imply that a surge protector might not be useful, it might protect your equipment when the power comes back on after a power outage.
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?
