M-2600 Blowing fuses

Post by jonny2scoops » Sun May 29, 2022 7:34 pm

I have just been fixing a M-2600 that was working perfectly for years in a fixed rack that decided to start blowing fuses after it was removed. Tracked the fault to one of the self tappers that hold the rubber feet on shorting the board to ground. It looks like at the factory instead of using a shorter screw they just stuck a rubber pad over the sharp point that the screw had pierced over time then taking the amp out of the rack and putting the weight on the feet bzzzzzzz fuse popping all fixed now took some head scratching.
