Hi!
I've just purchased a Bauer T502 from ebay and the sound doesn't work (although the image is fine). The fuse that transmits the power to the sound system was out, so I changed it twice and it went out the two times. Does anyone know what could be the cause for this power overcharge?

Thank you

Try using a slow-blow fuse. I think that's the problem.

If the machine has been idle for years, the capacitors are probably acting up. You might have to go through a few fuses until things load up and stabilize.
