well I'd been looking at the top of the Adcom and it looked like a combo of philips screws and rivets....so got out my trusty Harbor Freight security bit set and found one to open the top....4 fuses in there , one on each card....2 were blown , replaced them, turned off power switch and plugged in....power light is ON tho wont turn off in either position...will hook it up to cheap speakers tomorrow....PROGRESS
(Doug -my tech- went camping with his family...imagine him abandoning me in my hour of tech need ) he'll be back Wednesday.
I had 1 Dahlquest that got parted out...drivers were beautiful, cab very well made,,never got to hear it...but quality construction.
