Default Guitar Amplifier Repair Needed

I have a basic Fender guitar amplifier that simply will not power up. Is there any place in TV (or nearby) that might be able to fix it?

You could try some of the old time TV repair companies, as they would have the equipment and may be able to help. If you Google Fender Guitar amp repair, you may get some local references for repairs. Local music shops may also have some references for you. Now if all of this fails; is it tube or solid state (transistorized)? Do you have the schematics? I may be able to help, but I would need the documentation.

Did you check the fuse? That may be all it needs. If not that, then there is a guitar/amp shop in Ocala that should be able to help.

But am I embarrassed to ask this, but...

Fuse? Where would that be?

NOTE: I have tried alternate power cables also. No luck.

PB - it appears there may not be a fuse, or if so, it is not user serviceable. The link below will take you to a Fender support forum site.
