PeterRe: JCM 800 with reverb head blows a Fuse
Check the power selector for correct voltage  
Obvious usually.. but can be overlooked.  
No signs of dampness or any liquid spills?  
Put near a heater/fire or use hair dryer.  
(some animals like to claim territory ie  
pets etc - not a band member)  
Any signs of hibernating insects?  
I have had some blow the ht fuse but it sounds  
like the power fuse  
Does it blow with the standby switch in  
standby mode?  
If not diodes or filter caps could be culprits.  
More info required ... a long shot try  
removing the preamp tubes  
A model number would be helpful  
Thats my 2 cents worth
