Ran out of some fuses so decided to stock up my spares box - this place seemed about the cheapest I could find .....box of 10 slow blow £1.55

And delivery was next day ! , even though I choose the cheapest standard delivery method. Result.

Good stuff.

I am running a bit low on fuses so will get some ordered.
 
once saw a 15amp where there should have been a 1/8 amp - sheesh:eek:

ALWAYS good to check fuses fitted on a new pin
 
A recent board repair and fuse sort out/correction has left me with a 50 Amp yep they do actually make 50 Amp fuses! Also found the following over rated fuses 35, 15, 8 and 7 Amps all in the same WPC driver board. Interestingly (or perhaps surprisingly) the repair wasn't fuse related... :cool:
 
I have seen 350 amp ones and 500 amp ones on aircraft



Now that would be scary on a pin
 
I was always told that a 6" nail was rated at about 500 amp ....
 
That would be serious current to blow a six inch nail, or even a five inch nail come to that.
 
Thanks for the recommendation, bought a range of fuses yesterday, arrived within 24hrs

i was buying some of these, and spotted at the last second that the 1A ones are a little pricier than the rest 💷

Well I have never needed one.

Not in 90s dmds.

But many of the older solid states do. Certainly classic Bally and Sterns, use em. Seawitch that I have been working on recently does.

Correct, but I don't have any of them.
 
i'm about to click buy on those ebay fuses that are in my ebay 'basket' now, can someone check that my selection is ok? i'm also a DMD whore, so i only need fuses for games since 1990 really. my RG is my oldest ever, it's an alphanumeric and i love it, but i can't see me ever going back past 1985

250mA
500mA
1.6A
2A
2.5A
4A
8A

will that pretty much set me up for life for all my fuse needs?
and if i'm replacing a popped fuse and only have a bit higher or a bit lower, should i generally replace with a bit higher?
 
You should always replace with same or Lower (there are a few exceptions like using a 3.15A instead of 3A), unless there is a very good reason for going higher (not having the right value fuse is not classed as a very good reason!).
 
cheers for that Pete, and also for your comment in my RG shop/fix thread.
your fixing skills are top notch, so i was hoping you'd chime in
