Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET

@atmasphere 

After reading this thread on this day after Christmas, I am reminded of what a class act you are.  Thanks for your contributions and the best to you and yours.

Fed Ex has it now, (I think).
 

Shipping with them is 3rd World it seems, at times. 

it didn’t blow fuses with NO Tubes, turned on… with tubes, only the rectifier got warm, as it blew a fuse. 
 

Dennis awaits the shipment. Thanks for your interests!

To Dennis I gave my apologies. I blew up the electrolytic capacitor. I inserted a Cary Bias meter into the jack inlet on board the amp, purely no knowledge on the consequences of THAT action! 
 

Dennis took it back, and repaired it, scratching his head on how it could have happened, until we spoke on the phone. 
 

Thanks for the followup.  I remember that @dekay did mention a cap linked to the rectifier, and I did allude to my amp blowing the 2A SB fuses frequently when I had it connected to the extra cap power bank.

I skimmed back through the thread because I thought I remembered you saying it was a self biasing amp, but now I cannot finnd that?  If it is not a self biasing amp, what jack did you plug the meter into?  I take it that it was NOT the bias jack.  If that amp is NOT  a self biasing amp, and does need to be manually biased, how/where are you supposed to plug the meter in?

My lack of knowledge. I plugged a Cary Bias Meter into the jack hole on top. It measures plate, not bias. My bad… bias meter went arrow to the right… yet the amp continued to run for weeks thereafter.
