Guys, this is part of the issue I am asking about in my other thread...


....I am trying to be proactive here. I want/need to buy some 15-20 amp fuses for my B&K amplifiers. These are the kind that fit into the fuse holder on the back and screw in. Once upon a time, these were easy to find. Now, not so much. The fuse has to fit into the screw-in receptical on the amplifier. Any idea where I could get new fuses that will do the trick?

Thanks!

Search ebay for 3AG fuses.
Too much chance of a substandard device.
The fuse is the first line of defense for the amp and speakers

The extra couple of bux for shipping if you can't buy local is cheap insurance. Buy the exact required fuse. If it goes, there is a problem with the amp. Get it fixed.

In more than ½ century in HiFi, I've never replaced a fuse for failure.
Several because a manufacturer scrimped and installed no name crap.

As normb said, if you have a spare, you'll likely never need it.
