The mains fuse is in the neutral line not the live, which is incorrect. I can't see exactly what's going on with that second fuse inside - where does that thick blue wire coming from the mains fuseholder go? Both it, a green wire, a black wire and a plain solid wire all appear to go to the left end of the fuseholder, which isn't right. In the worst case it means the neutral is connected to the chassis, but I would need to see properly what's there, it may not actually be that. The fuse also looks blown...
If you don't mind me asking - who built this, and who repaired/modded it?

Refurbs/vintage amps are not required to be CE marked, unless the seller has changed its original function significantly.
If you buy an amp that is not CE marked then you are not dealing with a professional, and said "professional" is operating outside the law, and if they are doing that what else are they ignoring. Valve amps can be very dangerous.
Facebook and e-bay are full of illegal amp builds, if you are brave enough to buy one get it checked by a good tech before using it, allot of techs won't do this though.
The CE mark means the manufacturer has put a CE mark on it........
I see a ton of stuff, which in my opinion, would not conform to the regs as I interpret them.
This is not just from small builders, but also from major manufacturers.
The thicker cloth covered blue wire, along with the green wire and a wire from one side of the 'ON' switch all go into a rubber grommet, behind that fuse, that feeds them back into the transformer.
The left hand side of the fuse holder, the black wire and plain wire are soldered together, not with the others.
There's a sticker on the chassis cover that says:-
Fuses.
MAINS T1A x 1 1/4
HT T250 MA x 20
It does look blown in the photo but pretty sure I can see the wire intact in it.
Cheers for all the help.

In this case , when accountants actually build the amps themselves ...
