Sounds like the step-start relay is welded. That's where I would start.

Subject: [Amps] AL-82 Blowing fuses on startup
Hello Group.
Short question: I have an AL-82 that has started to blow a fuse on start-up.
It doesn't do it every time, and when the fuse is replaced the unit
starts OK and runs all day w/o problems. This all started when I
re-arranged the shack. The unit is about two years old.
The first time it happened, I checked the AC input at ~248 volts. Is
this too high?
So, any ideas on what to look for or where to start? As I sit here the
amp is on and running, but yesterday I had to replace a fuse to get it
started. This is only twice that I've had to replace the fuse, but
that's two times too many.
