Just purchased an FL2100Z amp from Ebay that came from Japan. Rig looks super clean and has the original Cetron 572B tubes that
look brand new. It was wired for 100V ac, but I noticed as I was changing the taps to use 120V that someone had made a mistake in
wiring it. One of the transformers leads that should have gone to the post marked 100V was connected to the 0 V connection. After I
wired it using the 117v taps (the nearest in voltage to 120v) I turned it on but it blew a fuse. I've carefully inspected all the components
and wiring but I can't find anything that shows any discoloration or burning. Can anyone on this forum point me to where I might find
what has caused the problem from the mistake in wiring? Can anyone refer me to someone who might know where the problem is?
Thank you everyone for your time and consideration. Dugan
