Crown D-150A series 2: help

A Crown D-150A series ll power amplifier was left abandoned in the hallway of my building (people throw out nice things in my building).

For now I can't turn it on because it's missing the fuse 6.25A MDX (easy to replace). The bigger problem is that it's also missing the fuse holder:   part # C5597A5

I'm combing the internet to no avail. Anybody know where I can find this modest little part?

Thanks in advance.

Before you install fuse holder, use a 150Watt incandescent light bulb instead of a fuse, power up the amplifier without speaker connected, if the light bulb light up a second then dim down, the amplifier maybe still in working condition, next thing to check is DC voltage at output, if less than 50mV, then it is safe to install fuse holder and connect speakers for sound test.
If power up the amplifier the light bulb light up continuously and not dimming, then the amplifier need to be get fixed.
