Yeah, it's out from the board. I'll try and get a replacement for that then. I guess this here would be causing the excessive current draw... but would it also cause the fx counterpart to get warm too?
The outputs are essentially in series between the rails (plus/minus power supply). If one's shorted/leaking, it tends to cause excessive current flow through the other outputs.
I understand now. Thanks for all your help 🙂. Still lots to learn though 😱.
I'll get a new Fs and report back. The best I can find is 12 of them for sale in USA ebay, I only need one...

Well I think that's done it!

In went the new fs70, sinked up and nothing got warm. Fuse didn't blow, so on went the speaker, and I got some LOVELY test tones out of it, no distortion whatsoever, no flat tops or bottoms, nothing bent around, just lovely waves, at 100hz, 1khz and 10khz. I played some music and it sounds perfect! I'm just in the process of re-doing the thermal grease, then i'm popping it in the car for a real test 😎.
Thank you ever so much for your help PB
