Well, since I just blew the little .5 A jobby in my Stang, I'm wondering where I should buy replacements.
I don't have an auto parts store nearby-- just your Lowe'sHomeDepotMenard's type of stores.
I don't think these are slo-blo, so finding replacments should be easier.
The filament on that little .5A fuse is thinner than hair! I had to get my loupe out just see if it was blown or not!

Oh, and should I be worried that this fuse blew, or could it just be line voltage variance? The outlet it's plugged into is in an older house with older wiring...

How old are the power tubes? If they are getting old they might be bad. We put slo-blo 1/2 amp fuses in the amps. Buss number MDL-1/2. If you put a fast blo 1/2 amp it will work, but take an extra with you to a gig.

Thanks, Jim. My output quartet is the original set-- I took deliver of my amp summer of 2006, so they are almost 2 years old.
I noticed that the heaters were working, but with the blown fuse, I had no juice to the preamp tubes-- just the EL84s and the rectifier tube.
Where might these fuses be sold?

I would think a Lowe's or Home Depot might have them, but an auto parts store is more likely to have them. If you can't find them locally you can get them from Mouser Electronics online.

My Stingray is equipped with a Slo-Blo 1/2 amp, and a standard 3 amp, fuses. Typically the HT (DC) fuses are the slo-blo variety.

Radio Shack would have those fuses and it's always good to have a few spares especially since they cost so little I've had fuses blow at the most inoportune times

I got them at the Shack. Imagine that-- a Radio Shack that actually carried electronics other than cell phones!
