[sdiy] juno 60 death

[Scott Gravenhorst]

It sounds as if you've mistakenly measured the primary.  Are you sure you are
connecting the meter to the secondary windings?  I'm not a Juno 60 guy, but I
think that 120volts is way too high for the kind of regulators present in most
musical instruments.  When you say the fuse "looks" OK, looks can be
deceiving.  The only way to know for sure is to use your meter on (low) ohms
to check the fuse.
