Does the Ghia use a 1 amp or a 1.5 amp fuse?
Mine has always had a 1.5 amp fuse in it, but it sounds like others have a 1 amp fuse.

Slo-blo or fast acting ? I don't know that any of the Z amps are marked - and it should make a difference, I would think.
My gut reaction says fast acting for H.T. fuse [ high voltage power supply / B+ The lower value one on the two fuse amps ] and slo-blo for the A.C. line fuse due to inrush.
It would be nice to get clarification on this, however.

Mine came with a slo-blo... but then, mine also came with a 1.5 amp, so everything I can refer to right now is a bit suspect without further clarification from the experts...
Just as a suggestion, maybe Doc could have his web guy list the fuse value and spec for each of his amp along with those tube compliments that are already listed on his website. That might be a handy resource!
I just realized too, I should have called this topic, AHEM... are you ready for this?
"con-fuse-ion" ;D

On the back of my Ghia where the fuse goes it say's "1amp"...& they are deffinately SLO-BLO... when I put the Masda rectifier tube in mine ,& it strated blowing fuses. I put a several "regular" fuses in ,& they all blew. So I called the DR & he said "be sure & get the SLO-BLO"

maybe that's the problem that niversen was having with his ghia. He didn't say if he was using the SLOBLO...

Mine too says 1 amp and is slo-blo. I've tried a couple of different 5Y3's and a 5V4 without any issues. Fuse value I think is something you want to stick to manufacturers spec, which seems to be the 1 amp slo-blo.

Zane, The photo of your Ghia reminds me of a “story” I heard. A drummer walks into a music store and states to the salesman he wants to give up the drums and play a real instrument. The salesmen ask the drummer, “What instrument do you want to play?” But the drummer has no idea what to play so the salesmen said to just pick out any instrument in the store that looks like it would be fun to play. The drummer looks around and said “I’ll take that, that, and that”. The salesmen said “I can sell you the amp and the trombone but I want to keep the air conditioner…” I noticed the air con unit in your photo, was that you?.. ;D

I finally sold 'em both (lost my butt on the drums)...but I've kept "trying to play"
