   Same age? Close serial numbers?   
      
   As to power - did you plug in another piece of equipment, or just check with   
   some sort of tester? If the neutral is out, you may have "power", but not   
   usable power.   
      
   Suggestions in no particular order:   
      
   a)  Find the main panel that feeds those circuits and the individual   
   breaker(s). Cycle them.   
   b)  Move the machines to another known-good receptacle.   
   c)  Check the power  cords. If they are not hard-wired, try removing/plugging   
   back in.   
   d) Check the lid interlock(s). If they are sticking, the machines will not   
   start. In the case of some of the machines here, they will not even light up   
   if the interlock is not either fully open or fully engaged.   
   e)  Replace the fuses anyway. They get tired and may not show as blown, but   
   may still be open.   
      
   Good Luck!
