And this is bad because... why? :-)

ObVector: For the first time in living memory, a fuse did its job - namely
protecting non-fuses. Seems a bad +5V pin on a board managed to peel away
and short itself to ground. Scratch, no, not one board or flaming
resistor of death on the audio/reg, but one 20A 32V fuse on the
transformer assembly that protects the 10.3VDC to the audio/reg board.
A quick check (with the only 32V fuse I had handy - a 7A fuse) revealed
the board and A/R stuff completely unharmed. The fuse died a quick death
about a minute later, and I placed the order for the proper replacement.
Nice to know that the replacement fuses will fix the problem, though.

Later,
Doug.
