I did a bit of checking, and found it had an internal wirewound fuse that had apparently separated in shipping. Popped a new fuse in and its a sweet amp. Plus the seller gave me a small rebate for taking the time to troubleshoot the problem. He was quite an honourable guy!
The 3rd amp I bought (another 6260) was poorly packed but works fine.
So - of the 4 pieces of electronics I bought in the last 6 months - only one was bad - but it was a real bad deal. I figure he PLANNED to rip the buyer off.
If you are going to buy electronics through ebay, use a credit card with a Buyer protection plan -- thats the ONLY thing that saved me from the rip-off.
