I have had this amp since about 1972. It has sat in the closet for most of those years. I got it out a couple months ago and was playing the guitar connected to the amp. It was doing fine when all at once I strummed across the strings and it went dead. Opening it up the fuse was blown (why in God's name they solder the fuses in is beyond me, they surely must have had fuse holders back then).

Anyway I put a new fuse in and it blew immediately. Is it possible to get a schematic of these things and/or does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing the fuses to blow?

The amp has Kustom
100
on the front.

The plate on the back says:
Kustom
CHANUTE, KANSAS
MODEL K 100 8
SERIAL NO. 44853
PAT. NO. 210, 129
