I had a coworker ask me to repair one of these. He could not get it to power up, and it looks like he bridged the main fuse, causing the filter caps to blow.

hello, I primarily repair 1940s and 50s televisions, but from time to time find myself working on solid state stuff. I like to post my experiences in the hopes that it will help others.
