On a newer amp like you're looking at, any service issues should be minimal. On any amp greater than 10 years old, budget in some bench time with a good tech for a once over to check operation and possibly a recap (service) to keep it running like new.

Hi Clint - I wasn't aware of this. Does the fuse state the amp model on it?
