Re: Fender Bassman 100 rebuild

Don't know what your using to clean, but I found CRC electronic cleaner 05103 very good for cleaning flux when I get

can't think of any now.

According to Fender layout, output transformer leads (brown and blue wires)

Re: Power transformer fried... why?

David, if you have room in the chassis, a cradle type holder works well, or use an inline fuse holder if you don't won't to drill any holes and save space.

Re: Power transformer fried... why?

Good, my first post here. I finally feel like I can contribute something, even if it is just advice as to how I protect transformers. I like to put a slow blo fuse inline with the center tap of the PT and its ground. If I remember a .5 amp for a 2 x 6L6 amp, but this depends on tranformer rating. I ...
