Tiny Terror Anniversary no sound

Hi Guy's
My beautiful Anniversary tiny terror has given up the ghost on me, would be grateful for any ideas! The fuse blew first, so I replaced that and following advice from Orange tech guy's I also replaced the power valves with a balanced set of JJ's.
The Green light comes on now, and the valves glow nicely, but not a dicky bird from the output. I plugged a different amp (Vox MV50) into the same set up and all worked fine, so its a problem with the amp. I checked the mains fuse and that fine so I'm stumped what could be the problem?

Further developments, the fuse had blown again. I replaced it but it blew straight away for the third time. So something is causing the fuse to blow

Do not keep loading fuses into the amp if they are blowing. You can do more damage to the amp this way. As Billy said, it's tech time.

The most likely scenario is that you had a partially shorted tube in the amp that failed and took out one or more components in the amp. If the amp is popping fuses with trusted new tubes in it, it's time for someone with troubleshooting experience to get under the hood to find out why.

I had a TTHW that was blowing fuses as fast as I could put new ones in. (Well, only tried one or two...)

Long story short, turned out to be a bad PI tube.
