Crate Stealth 50 power issue
« on: July 19, 2022, 12:21:15 pm »
I’m a little stumped with this one I have a crate 50 watt stealth on my bench. Power cord is good all the fuses are good the power switch is good but nothing when you try to power it on. Any suggestions?

Right.  ✔️


Post more info / results later.


I'm not familiar with crate stealth. I always liked their blue voodoo, though I never owned one.
