Mark Levinson 533H Amp fuse information

Have a ML 533H amp. It's about 4 years old. The fuse ( I assume its the fuse) in the right channel blew about a month ago after a power surge from my utility. Yep had amp plugged into Tripp Lite surge suppressor; Surge suppressor was toast after the event. Used center and left channels for stereo playback until I had the time to investigate/replace fuse.

Yesterday tried to play some tunes and nothing from the amp. Power LED was on.  Preamp was working fine.

Question: I would like to order replacement fuses for the 533H before I take the cover off. Anybody know the fuse info: brand type, amperage, etc.  Would prefer to replace factory fuses with the same model. Not really interested in "audiophile" fuse replacements.

What's the difficulty in replacing the fuses? I do have electronics experience.

@daisydog
looking at the photo I have it seems your's is a 230v?
if so the photo of the board shows F2 as T5 not T50.
but it only shows one F1 on top and one F2 below it ( to the left of the jumpers), where are the other 3 F2s located?

The board you see is located on the left side of the amps chassis and is visible when the top cover is removed. Two fuses located here; F1 and F2 along with what appear to be jumpers to select the operating voltage. Mine is the standard voltage: not 230. 
There are 3 more F2 fuses. One fuse at the top of each circuit board where the power capacitors are mounted. I think there are 14 caps on this board and they are in front of the heat sinks. ThIs is a 3 channel amp so a fuse for each channel.
