It's easy to check for it - if none of the valves light up, it's almost certainly this.

- When did you buy your Cub?
- Where did you buy it from (some stores give their own free warranties eg DV247, 3 yrs)? &
- Did you register on-line for Laney's free 5 yr extended warranty?
Even if its not under any warranty, have a chat with Laney (Headstock Distribution Ltd, tel: 0121 508 6666). This is a known problem with these amps and they might be prepared to fix it for you at no charge, or at least send you the upgraded replacement part free.I've replaced a couple of them with a wirewound resistor - from memory 0R1 2.5W, but I would need to check - that only knocks off about a quarter of a volt from the filament voltage and will limit the cold-valve current to some extent, but in the event of a real short the resistor would burn out before the transformer. I'm not normally a fan of using resistors as fuses, admittedly.

Having read this: http://www.soft.com.sg/forum/showthread.php?222341-Is-your-Laney-CUB12-10-dying-after-a-couple-of-minutes-Read-This! do you think that it is safe/ possible to solve the problem by bypassing the thermistors?

I just need to find someone local qualified to fit the new thermistor.

So is the chap who makes these, and he can clearly solder.

I'm aware that Portugal is quite a big country .

Madeira is a lovely place - I've only been once, about 25 years ago, but I am now slightly envious .
