RM9 won't turn on - switch?

My RM9 won't power up. I pulled the bottom covered and didn't see any mainline fuses. Is the switch the likely culprit?

If this fuse is blown the amp will look like it is off. The 1A fuses (one per channel) affect B+ only. If one is blown you will not be able to bias the output tubes for that channel, but you can still balance the drivers. Sounds like you have a MkI and the issue could be the power switch as well, especially if you have the square switch which will fail. The rectangular switches were much more reliable. Check the connections to the switches as well.

Checked the power switch with meter and it was open in both switch positions. Its a MkII, found some switches on Amazon but had to buy 15 for $7. Must be really good at that price.

In the future if you need replacement parts let us know.
