Hello diyaudio community. After wandering the wilderness of diy audio, what a treat to find this community.
I have constructed a couple battery powered HPA's. I also constructed a G. Randy Slone power amplifier, including etching the PCB's myself. I haven't gotten the power amp up and running yet. The fuses blew when I powered it up so I shelved the project for awhile. I still have hope for it.
What a treat to find this community of builders. The knowledge base here is inspiring. I hope to learn more about this craft. Thanks for having me. Dave M.

Welcome aboard.
Sorry that your Sloane amp is misbehaving. Have you tested the power supply by itself?

Yes, the rails are producing about +66/-66v respectively. When unhooked from the circuit boards the fuses on the power supply do not blow. I suspect I have made a very basic error in wiring the power supply to the rest of the amp. I was quite ready to give it a break at the time and didn't follow up. Thanks for the response.
