EDP blows fuses?

[Bill Moyer <varg2muse@earthlink.net>]

I recently purchased a new EDP.  After  very little use it started
blowing fuses on start-up.  I took it in to have it checked out.  The
guy put in a slow blow fuse , turned it on and off quickly multiple
times, got an 8.8 on the screen and powered down.  He then put in a
'fast blow' fuse and it seems to work fine.

This troubles me and I'm considering returning the unit, as I would hate
to have this occur in performance.  Any advice? Heard of this before?

Thanks, Bill Moyer
