I'm assuming it's been capped including the can caps.

Could be a few things but might be a bad transformer.

Do you hear any loud static just before the fuse blows?

I tend to agree with Tony here, but have one test you can try - remove the output tubes (6V6s or 6L6s) and see if the fuse still blows. A concern is the output transformer may be shorting - see if it warms up even with the tubes removed. If the fuse still pops then find the centre tap of the output transformer and disconnect it and again do a fuse check. A DIM BULB test would be better for this situation - use a high wattage bulb like 100W and see if it gets brighter after a little while, with the amp powered up and the speaker plug inserted.

This amp will play for about 2-3 minutes then blows the 2 amp fuse.   Tubes all test good. I’m confused. _
