No. I’m trying to build a RCM1 cabinet with all the original parts or as close as I can get.

That will work! Any idea on the fuse size or amps that go in the fuse block? Thank you.

According to the manual, they use 5 amp fuses for the left side fuse block and 15 amp fuses for the right fuse block.
