Fuses and confusion
Your amp’s fuse holders have a screwdriver slot, in the cap (if it’s the typical Sunfire Load Invariant).    Do not try to unscrew them.        As MC stated; push in and turn counter-clockwise, 90 degrees.           I’ve had to replace a few fuse ...

I’ve purchased numerous octets of both the Sylvania and GE 6550’s, over the last few decades, from both Upscale and TC Tubes.      Both brands gave me the dynamics, spaciousness and clarity desired.      The GEs were slightly ballsier in the botto...

The very thing that makes her rich, will make you poor (so many ways). 
Crown D-150A series 2: help
Here’s hoping!      There’s a slightly less fancy AGC fuse holder, on the link that yogiboy posted, for $1.28.        Don’t know about their shipping charges, but- just to see if the thing works...... https://www.parts-express.com/screw-cap-agc-fu... 
Klipsch Service, is like calling the Federal Government.....What a joke
"At one time I had the instructions for this project but I lose them.....One of the problems with these forums is it becomes about the person and not the problem...."     The, "person" had the instructions and lost them, which seems to be the only...

Crown D-150A series 2: help
The original fuse holder had a slotted cap (screwdriver needed).     That may have baffled the original owner, leading to it’s demise       This will fit the original chassis hole and make changing a fuse easier: https://www.partsconnexion.com/ACM...

"If I just procure and insert the correct fuse holder and fuse and then turn it on, what’s the WORST that could happen?"     A: The fuse will blow.                                                                        Are you certain that you’ve ... 
My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions.
"Homeowners insurance doesn't cover repair or replacement because owning a pet means you assume liability/responsibility."      Makes sense!     After all,  whose fault is it, that you have a, "#@%$ cat" (your own description) in your house?      ... 
Klipsch Service, is like calling the Federal Government.....What a joke
Is this a Klipsch Belle that's in need of, "service" (with an actual, "problem"), or- one of which the owner lacks knowledge?

Need expert advice re: loud pops.
If it's occurring on just one channel, see if it's emanating from the woofer.        How loudly do you listen, how big's the room, etc?      Any boost in the bottom freqs?       There is the possibility of a woofer coil bottoming.      If you stil... 
VPI HW-19 or VPI Traveler
Ask them if they ever lubed the motor and platter bearings.      One nice aspect: if you shop around, there are numerous HW-19 upgrades that can be performed at your leisure ie: SDS, SAMA, Scout platter and inverted bearing, etc).        If you ha...
