[Milsurplus] No.19 MkIII

[J. Forster]

I don't think so. A modest overfusing will cause the magnetics to fry as I
said, but a shorted resonating capacitor would blow almost any fuse
instantly.

Anothe possible cause of overheating might be a resonating capacitor
strapped for the wrong line frequency. (50 v. 60 Hz)

Best,
