hey guys

i got a fender concert amp (c 1982-3) and i found out that it was made for europe with a different plug and the owner retrofitted a step up transformer to convert the voltage for american use. Is there anything i should watch out for, safetywise?

I would have the amp inspected by a competent tech to ascertain that the add-on tranny was correctly installed and wired. Barring any unforeseen complications, such a routine bench-check shouldn't cost more than $30.
