looks like a 5amp-it should say on the side endcap of the one you removed. (I can check mine to see what specifically it is when I'm at home as I'm at work)
Causes; could be a voltage spike, a tube going bad, a cold solder joint came loose or is loosening, a bad part like a tranny.
Alot of times when the power fuse blows on the power feed of an amp it is a shorted rectifier diode, but as others have said it could be other things. I would start at the rectifier though, or sell me the amp cheap! [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]
FYI, more than likely you should be able to get a replacement at the local radio shack. Look on the blown fuse and make sure whether or not it's a slo blow fuse... you want to replace it with an IDENTICAL fuse - rating and type. Don't get something that's close, make sure it's the same. If you can't read the fuse, take it with you and pray that the drone at the radio shack actually knows what a fuse is...
