Hello all,
I have recently aqcuired a Sony TA-88 with a tuner from ebay.
As i have explained in the subject title, one of the internal fuses on
the brown wire, a 315mAT keeps blowing. At first I thought it would
just be an old fuse. Sometimes just after a few minutes. Sometimes
after a few hours, or even a days playing. I can see no dark areas on
the circuit boards or anything burnt, or smell anthing untoward from
the back.

I got my replacement fuses from Matalan, the box reads 630mA-6,3A then
a backward looking RU125V
on the other side of the box it reads, 10ESKA G-Sicherungseinsatze 250V
DIN EN 60127-2-3
and then handwritten over the top GL54

I have changed the power lead, (kettle type) - no difference.

Any advice would be nice.

Jim
