    Man what a learning experience this is.I put new LED lamps in. I cleaned the switch real good with deoxit. I had to bring out the length of the fuse holder. I added a piece of wire underneath the screw and screwed it down tight. Fuse is held very well. All fuses show continuity. I wonder if the resister is not good that is connected to the power coming in side of the fuse? I do get a wierd AC reading when checking it like 5.0 or some such number. I put all the wires for speaker output exactly where they go. I put the jumpers exactly where they go. Would putting new lamps in cause it to not work? I wouldn't think so since it worked fine when 4 of them were bad. I'm at a loss. I appeal to anyone who can help me figure this out. I was so looking forward to hearing some music. Thanks all Cheers!.

      So this morning I get up and I think maybe I messed up where the power comes in because I broke one of the clips that hold the fuse. So I bought new clips, carved out a bit of the mount so they would fit and put them in. So now, I plug the unit into my dim bulb and turn it on. I get 120 volts on the top but I am not getting anything from the bottom white wire that goes to the 3amp fuse. I'm also not getting 120volts to the switch or the main fuse. I think the switched and unswitched plugs are bad. It's my guess anyway. I'll have to order new ones if I can find them.

        I think I messed up screwing around with the broken fuse holder. What is the purpose of the big resistor attached to the lerft and right incoming power cable? I am thinking of bypassing the switched and unswitched outlets. I have no idea why I'm not getting power. None of the soldered connections are touching the fuse holder although I had to solder the fuse in place. Maybe that is the problem but if I can get rid of all the outlets I can run it straight through the fuse and be done unless the resistir or capcitor whatever it is, is no good.

          Sorry for all the posts. I can give you a better pic if you need it. Anyway, I get 120v across the top of where the fuse goes. I get 120v from the right top to right bottom. I get 120v top right to bottom left. I do not get 120v across the fuse or from bottom right to bottom left where the white wire connects to the 6amp fuse. I think this is the problem. Trying to figure out how to solve it hmmm....

            Yep! I'm a bonehead. I soldered the white wire to the wrong terminal. My bad. I'll fix it
