HI all, just inherited a 70's Super Reverb. went to play it but found
the fuse had blown. 6 shops later, no 2amp 32v fuses to be had. One of
the mobs suggested a 2amp 240v fuse (we run 240v electricity in
Australia).
Will this be ok?
Cheers
Matt

If you're running 240v from the wall in Australia and that is where you are and there was a 32v fuse in the amp, could that be the problem?

Yes, that's correct.
The fuse should be rated to at least the voltage it will carry.
Higher the better.
BUT
It should be a "slo-blo" (slow blow) fuse to allow for the initial
inrush current or it will burn right when you flip the switch.

It seems to work now, just needs the speaker fixed, new tubes etc etc etc
