Default Re: Marshall JTM45 Guitar Amplifier- Mains (Primary)Fuse Blows

I still haven't found a Circuit diagram showing which, if any, of the suggested mods. were ever factory fitted
The advice given regarding modification to the rectifier, though sound, isn't necessary in my opinion. Personally I'd fit the new GZ34, bench test it for a few hours, monitoring the HT current and so on, then button it up and give it back.

I can attest that Marshall's (and indeed other brands) do occasionally pop their mains transformers, but this is the exception rather than the rule in my experience. I know some on here will say better safe than sorry, but on the other hand manufactures also know a thing or two about design and if they dont deem a change necessary then I'd go with that in most cases
