So, as many of you (maybe all) have now figured out, I truly am an ignorant man. I'm not all that ashamed of it. To me, it just means there are a lot more things I need to learn before I check out.
So, here is my question. A year or 2 ago I bought a vintage Bassman 4X10 (I've been told late 60's or early 70's). It's in really nice shape cosmetically. I finally got around to plugging something into it. The red light came on and then fizzled out. My 1st thought was a fuse. So, I pulled the fuse (and it does look like it's shot) and went to the local Hardware Store where I was confronted with similar looking fuses, all labeled differently.
My eye's aren't what they used to be so I asked the young lady to write down what she saw on the fuse. Here's what she wrote:
2-1/2A/12.5V (I think it says 12.5 anyway) and then also 313 3AG. I saw nothing in the fuse area that was labeled anything near that.
So, given all that (and maybe what you all just know about it) can anyone tell me what I should be looking for as a replacement fuse? And, do they need to be ordered from a special type place or are they all just generic?
If that's all it is, I hate to lug the thing 120 miles round trip to the nearest amp tech.
As usual, any input is much required.
