I have an old Fender Concert that has been in the closet for 10 or 15 years. I got to thinking about it and decided to drag it out and warm the tubes a little. It has been in a dry climate controlled area of my house and covered. It was working fine when it was put up and it kinda slipped my mind until a friend asked me about it. The only number I've seen on it was in the 57***'s I plugged it up and it began to buzz really loud and out came a cloud of smoke and it blew the fuse. I removed the amp from the cabinet and found a smoked spot on the underside of the top above the main power transformer. What should I do put it on the burn pile or try to sell it as is?

Dan...Even if you have to replace the OT, there is no reason to put it on the trash heap. That is the great thing about the old Fender tube amps, you can always replace the parts and any good tech should be able to determine why whatever it was that blew was and fix it. And the Concert is a fine amp, get it fixed and play the crap out of it :!: :!: :!:

FWIW
