Main fuse in back of amp blew with nothing connected This amp was never abused in any way still looks new is it worth fixing?

[Alaric]

It's definitely worth the price of a fuse. If you decide otherwise, I'll happily send you the price of two gold fuses and a ribbon to tie around them in exchange for that terrible old amp.

Heck yeah! I bought mine new in 1994 and still use it all the time, it's a great amp.

Hell yes! And wait till you see what a new one will cost! Rotel amps, especially the older 9 series, are virtually indestructible. I've been doing Rotel service / repair for 20 years which I believe qualifies me to answer this question. Just be aware the original fuse will very likely be a Time Delay type (not a fast blow) so make sure you use the correct type. Look for a T or an F preceding the amperage rating and replace with the same.
