What are the line voltages in Cuba? Is your amp a USA spec amp designed for 120 VAC? Did you check the fuse? Maybe you got lucky and only blew the fuse. In any case, you will need a new transformer to work with the voltages in Cuba if they are not 120 VAC.

To expound on what Bluesky posted, check this site. These are all Hammond replacement PTs that can work on various line voltages. Very good iron. They are all 50/60Hz rated. This is MOST IMPORTANT. As you should NEVER run any 60Hz only rated power tranny is a country that has 50Hz power. You can run a 50Hz rated tranny in a country that has 60Hz AC lines, no problem.

See the various wiring setups are the bottom of the page. You can move all over the world and never need to swap the PT, again. :D


Good luck with the amp!
