I'm a new Music Man amp owner (212 Sixty-Five), and my amp is in great shape so I don't have anything to be concerned about right now. However, I keep reading about blown transformers and the fact that they seem to be impossible to replace. This brings me to a couple of questions:
1. Why do these transformers blow and how can I avoid it happening to me?
2. How many different transformer types (models, or whatever) are we talking about for the various Music Man amps?
3. How much demand is there for these transformers, and could someone manufacture and sell them profitably?
4. Is there such a thing as a substitute for the original transformer?
5. Are there any other essential parts for these amps that are hard to find?
