Headrush FR112 blowing fuse

[rwillett]

I took a punt on a not-well-known auction site and got a Headrush FR112. Not eBay to be clear.

 

I got it cheap for £84 but it turns out that it doesn't work. It came with a blown 6.3A fuse and putting in another 6.3A fuse gave me a matched pair of blown fuses. Not quite as a nice as a matched pair of EL84 valves but still glassware

 

I'm in discussions with the auction site but assuming that I don't get my money back, caveat emptor etc etc, any recommendations for somebody in NW England who can look at these things and repair them. The Headrush site shows somebody in Leeds and also somebody in Castleford. Both are a fair old schlep. 

 

If I don't get my money back, I suspect I'll be making them into a home made cabinet.

 

Any sensible suggestions welcomed.
