I could not find an answer in this forum for my question, so here it is:

I purchased a new Bassman 100T amplifier and love it! Yesterday, after the amp had been on for several hours, mostly in standby (set for 25 watts into 4 a ohm speaker), I turned it off and unplugged it. Then I wanted to see what the insides looked like, so I removed the back panel. I made the mistake of touching the power transformer and almost burned myself. It was really hot! I am quite familiar with tube equipment and know they get hot, including the transformers. However, I was surprised at how hot the power transformer was, especially considering its size. I didn't think to measure the surface temperature, so I can't say just how hot it was.

Has anyone had a similar experience, or does anyone from Fender have any comments?

Thank you!

I guess that says it all. Who would have thought to read the manual?

Thanks!
