When I bought my SA5 back in the mid 80's I remember being told to never run it without the umbilical connected. Mind you this is the SA5, not the SA5.1 you have.
I dug out and took a peek in my manual and it said to wait at least 10 minutes after powering down before disconnecting the umbilical so it could drain. Otherwise the fuse would blow.
Reasonable to think the fuse would certainly blow if not connected and powered up. But again, this is the SA5, and even it had some revisions. Can't seem to find an SA5.1 manual on the net. Weird.
I'm not a technician but have managed to maintain my preamp all these years initially with pro service, but thereafter for decades with lots of help from forums, a DVM, DIY part replacements, and likely dumb luck LOL. The 5.0 and 5.1 are more similar than different so keep posting and I'll certainly see if I can assist in any way.
Good luck with the replacement tube (and fuses!)
