I isolated the power sup[ply as the problem in the 8500 that is now a shell for sale, but before tossing the p.s., I opened it just for a look see. Nothing was obviously crisped up, no poofed and leaking capacitors, no clues for me (basically lacking any expertise to interpret any but the grossest) but I did notice the fuse. It seems to be intact. It looks like any other fuse on its ends, but the middle, where I'm accustomed to seeing a glass tube with a wire running through it, seems like its made of paper. What's the deal, and what would it look like if it were blown? -- All the best, R.A. Cantrell
