Fuse Blowing on Superamp AE 25

Hello!
My AE 25 suddenly blew the main AC (2 amp sloblo) fuse. I took off the bottom cover and can find nothing that looks like a problem - no swollen components, no melting anywhere, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this? I am waiting for mail-order fuses now, and will put in a new one and try it, but it will be two weeks before they arrive. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if this is a common problem - maybe an AC spike that did it if the normal operating current is close to 2 amps? Any experience with this out there?

I think you are putting in considerable amount of money with new set of tubes etc just to find out cause for fuse blow . You may also consider sending your AE25 to : Mr.Dan Wemmer, Service/QC Manager

I sent mine ( AE25 Signature) two years ago and had all problems resolved ,thoroughly serviced , tested plus had all upgrades ( Jensen oil caps , fast acting Diodes ,RCA jack replaced ). It cost me a bit but I found great improvement in sound , extremely happy . Dropped the idea of upgrading to more costly amp !
