I've had intermittent blown HT fuses here and there in the months after I had installed a replacement OT in my Marshall.
Tried a number of troubleshooting items and eventually focused on the stupid power cable (IEC style of course).
Swapped out power cable with another I had laying around (doesn't everybody have at least 10 spares laying around?).
I'm thinking to myself, "what are the chances this is it?" ... and I responded to myself, "slim to none".
But yep that's what it was - bad power cable. Been using amp regularly for a month for couple hours at a time; cranked, not cranked etc... no blown HT fuse.
So there you have it.
That should be the 1st step when your Marshall blows the HT fuse - replace the power cable.

They should be hard-wired into the chassis with a strain-relief, just like the old days.
