Fuses

The  LP260m  mono-block  power  amplifier power  transformer  is
protected  by  a  fuse  on  the  ac  power  line  (F5,  located  in  a
compartment in the ac line-cord receptacle mounted on the back of
the amplifier), and by four separate internal fuses on the secondary
circuits of the transformer (F1 – F4) located on the bottom of the pc
board.  A  failure  of  any  of  these  fuses  is  a  symptom  of  a  more
serious  problem,  and  a  competent  service  technician  should  be
consulted.  In  no  event  should  fuses  be  replaced  with  a  value  or
type different than that originally supplied. The correct fuse values
and types are:

F5:    5x20mm 10 amp T-type if configured for 100 or 120V:

  5x20mm 6.3 amp T-type if configured for 220 or 240V.

F4:    3AG type 4 amp, slow blow
F1, F2, and F3: ¼ amp, slow blow

The  output  stage  is  protected  by  a  plate  fuse  in  series  with  the
output tubes. This is a 5x20mm 2A fast-blow ceramic fuse, located
inside  the  chassis  in  fuse  holders  mounted  on  the  vertical  power
supply board.
