[Jukebox-list] 2410s the fuses were in

[Jackie]

Just to clear up the questions, I did replace all the fuses before this 
smokin thing happened.  I had a list of the correct size fuses and replaced 
all of them just to make sure I didn't trash 
anything..........duh..........little did I know I probably did more damage 
this way.  The bright side, now I know and my house did not burn down in the 
process.  Learning the hard way,

Jackie
