JCM 800 schematics/repair

I've had on old 1981 JCM 800 head for a while and it has been acting up lately. Blowing fuses left and right whenever i use a pedal and sometime more noise than necessary. I want to try to bring it back up to snuff so i was wondering if there are any websites that would point me in the right direction.

I have no problem going to a repair place but I'd like to learn about guitar amp maintenance myself and see what i can do.

Thanks for any help/info.

Or if anyone can hook me up with the contact for a good repairman that isn't backed up for months in the north jersey/eastern Pa. area. I'd like to get this amp into nice shape.

Dave's Sound in Whippany, NJ, or Piero's Music in Bayonne, NJ... Dave would be the top choice based on reputation, but Louie at Piero's is very thorough and wonderful at restoration. Dave might have a 2-week wait, Louie might have it ready the next afternoon. Either way your 800 will be in killer shape.
