Martin,

I am about 90% sure they are the same. If they aren't the same, then it will
be darn close. I am not sure about the fuse blowing, but I worked on a
15V2000 that was blooming and found that the high voltage diode was bad. Be
sure to use the same type... mine had
a VARO H1809 in it and I tried using a VARO H1812, but after a warm-up found
it did not work.

By the way, if you happen to find a manual/schematics on the 15V2000 (not
the 19V2000) could you possibly scan it for me? I'd like to have a copy,
even though the 19V2000 can be used for repairs.

Regards,
-Commander Dave
