I just pick up a Basic M1 at an estate sale, along with a Basic C1 Pre (and a matching tuner).
The M1 is not powering on, and I'd think the first thing to check is whether a fuse is blown. However there is no access to a fuse without opening it up. Can you give me some idea of of what to expect when this is opened?
Will there be an easily accessible fuse in there?
Will my first step be to replace that fuse if blown?
Is there a reason the fuse is not easily accessible?
Is there a commonly recognized reason for a fuse blowing?
It goes without saying that I'd like to have this unit working, and I do have some minor repair experience, having recapped a couple of things, and soldered, etc. But, other than a multimeter, I have no test equipment, nor the expertise in using any.
Can anyone help with my next move? Thanks!
