Beomaster 2400-2 Keeps blowing fuse

Hello everyone, My Beomaster 2400-2 suddenly stopped working.

I plugged it in to listen to a disk only for it to have no sign of life, even know it was working perfectly less than 2 weeks ago. I decided to open up the bottom panel, and I find that one of the two fuses, the lower one relative to the back of the amp, was blown. I changed it with another one that I had that was the same size, only difference being that it was 2 amps instead of 1,6. I put the cover back on, plug it into the wall and switch on the main power button, only for it to blow instantly. The voltage selector on the bottom is set to 220v, which I assume is fine considering the voltage range of my country is 220 to 240v. The amp also worked just fine on that setting for the last 40 years.

I'm honestly clueless about what the issue is, and if it would be better to send it to a professional, but I don't know any from where I'm from (northwestern france), also the fact that our president just announced another lockdown makes things a little complicated...

I am not ready to throw the thing away cause my dad gave it to me and he has had it since 1982, so obvious sentimental value.

Awaiting your responses with impatience,

Best regards, -Leo

The number of soldering tasks means there are that many de-soldering tasks. I would hate to try and desolder electronic components without a
