Peter	Re: Help! Marshall 4203 blowing fuses, not PT Yep faulty valve and most likely wrong value fuse although it could have been the thermal cutout in the transformer (a curse in expensive transformers). A ht fuse would probably be a good investment for next time.... Btw has any one ever tested the current generation of fuses in a jig to check their rating ? There seemes to be a gradual influx of no brand fuses and a diminishing of branded ones!
