Do you have access to a multimeter and know how to use one? It's easy to see if there is voltage getting to the pilot light, and if not, where the "juice" stops flowing.
Yes, I have an autoranging digital multimeter. I'm checking AC voltage to the pilot light, correct?

Other than the fuse, does anything else seem wrong?
That's what we need to find out using the multimeter!
You want to set the meter to read AC voltage, and touch the black probe to ground. Any point grounded to the chassis will work for this purpose. Next, make sure you have mains power going into the power cord socket, but leave the power toggle on the front panel OFF for now. If everything is hooked up & working correctly, you should see mains voltage (i.e. ~120VAC) at the following points by testing with the red probe:
- The left solder tab of the mains socket (wired to the top tab of the mains fuse)
- The top tab of the mains fuse (wired to the left tab of the mains socket)
- The rear tab of the mains fuse (wired to the power toggle switch)
- The bottom tab of the power toggle switch
Please check these four points and report back with your results.
