Looks like you have a nice Marshall amp and possibly a Les Paul (that's what I have). I can't help with your question other than to say "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" will get you sorted out.

Thanks

In 1957 At 7 years old i can remember passing wrenches to my father as he worked on his 55 belair under the shade of the dogwood tree in our side yard.All that knowledge he passed onto me has helped a lot of people

See if you have the factory fuse chart in the little slot back by the battery.Should state fuse number for the radio.Start there.
