make sure the bridges are installed the correct way, could also possibly be A shorted varistor VR1?
You could try removing all of the other fuses except F6 and see if it still blows, if it does blow F6 without the other fuses installed, it could be shorted wiring between the transformer and the PCB, or worse case scenario.. shorted windings the the transformer itsself.
If the F6 fuse does not blow with the others removed, you could try reinstalling each fuse, one at at time until you come to the one which creates the fault,
oh.. and have J3 removed as well while testing!
hope this helps!!

Thanks Mitch
I have tried with the varistor removed and still no good, and with all the other fuses removed.
I have noticed a bit of melted wax around the transformer, I hope its not the transformer.
I put my meter on the 240V input to the transformer and it gets about 5 ohms, which is the same as my Meteor transformer, so I am assuming its ok.
I am really pulling my hair out on this, it looks so simple but yet its no good.
I am going to double check (again) the bridges and see if I can get anywhere there
