Hi. I have a Art tube preamp that has started to blow the fuse everytime I try to turn it on and because the warranty has expired I was thinking of fixing it myself. At first I just tried to see if anything looked strange or broken but I really don't have a trained eye for that. My second try was disconnecting the tube to see if the problem would disappear, it didn't. At last I tried disconnecting the wires from the toroid to the PCB (19,2 V - 0 - 19,2V) and the fuse still blew. Does that mean that the toroid might be broken cause there's nothing left in the circuit except the powerswitch when the pcb is disconnected? Is it possible to replace the toroid with a similar one, I just can't seem to find any with 19,2 V - just 18V. Hope you can solve my problem.
