Hey Kelly. The fuses are pretty simple to get to if your amp is set up like my Decware amps. There is a fuse holder in the IEC inlet, so you don't have to go inside.
Unplug the amp and then pull out the Amp end of the power cord. Look into the space it came out of from the back of the amp... into the IEC inlet. Not far from the top you can see a little rectangular gap that a small screw driver tip can be put into. Gently pry the fuse cover/holder straight up. The fuse will be in the part that you pry up. Also, in the holder there is probably a little round area, where with luck, you will find a spare fuse. If you find the wire in the fuse is broken, if I recall correctly from Steve, this is what is supposed to happen to protect the amp from a rectifier short, and with any luck, no more damage would have been done. That the rectifier flashed points to this.
I am a little concerned about this: "I changed the left rectifier to the right in-op amp, didn't notice a flash, but now neither amp works in any fashion!" If the fuse is blown on the right amp, it would not work. But the Left still should using the rectifier that was originally in the Left amp. However, if you switched rectifiers, and tried the Left amp with the Right rectifier (that is shorted if this is correct theory), it probably blew the Left amp fuse too.
If you did try to start the Left amp with the Right rectifier, and both fuses are blown, it would seem that by replacing both fuses, and trying the amps with the rectifier that was originally in the Left amp... both would hopefully work, verifying that it was just the rectifier causing the problem.
