Peter	Re: Help! Marshall 4203 blowing fuses, not PT I meant to say In normal use for 120 volts the amplifier draws less than 2 amps I would fit new output valves if a transformer has been replaced. Its not worth the risk to keep using the ones that were in it when it blew. I have seen one with a tiny bit of metal rattling around inside and another with a loose getter. Although in your case this may not be so I would sleep better at night knowing the risk of frying another transformer was minimised .
