have i just blown my valve amp?

[ilaila]

I do not have a scooby... my friend just gave me his vacuum valve amp -
its called logic 3.
it was bubbling and clicking so i thought i'd wobble a few bits to see if anything was loose but i held it wrong and pushed a red switch from 230 to 115 and the whole thing just died. The fuse seems fine -
I was thinking about taking it to get fixed properly but have I just blown something awful?
yes i'm a total non electronics person who seems to have a lot of luck with fixing things.
I would be very grateful for any little tips and suggestions - thankyou all

Unfortunately, changing the voltage switch may have caused damage beyond
the previously existing problem.

Scooby is also a Subara car.

I think you mean subaru. However if you look at the two possible meanings of the OP's first sentence it's pretty obvious which one he meant?

Perhaps he mentioned he doesn't have the car to make us feel sorry for him ?

Having just checked the specs on the logic 3 its a hybrid so tube linestage for that phat sound and solid state power section. Chances of it being totally dead are significant. Find someone who knows electrons to check it out. It wasn't that good when new, so beyond economic repair or nice box for a my first amp project may be on the horizon.

Perhaps he doesn't have a clue or perhaps he doesn't have a sou
