Repair of Laney Cub 10.

The amplifier came to the workshop with the following error message! "When it has played five minutes, the amp turn off the power".

I found quite quickly a diagram.

The amplifier came on the workbench.

The amplifier was opened and troubleshooting could begin. the problem circled pretty quickly around a thermo-electric fuse inserted in the filament voltage circuit.

With the amplifier turned on, the fuse after about 5 min. was so hot that it burned your fingers if you touched it, and the filament power was cut off.

The thermal fuse was of soldered and replaced with a jumper. I have never before seen a fuse in the filament voltage circuit, so I assume that if something happens to the winding in this transformer, then pops the amplifier main fuse.

The amplifier is finished and play without problems for hours.
