It seems preposterous that RadioShack doesn't have them. Note that a higher voltage rating is perfectly acceptable as long as the current rating and the physical size are identical. |

Hello, The 120V rating isn't critical. You can use a 125V or 250V rated fuse. More important is to determine if you need a fast or slow blow type fuse. If the deck isn't marked, look at the numbers of the fuse. If all else fails, post the fuse markings and physical size along with the make and model of the tape deck here and someone is likely to have the information you need.

Regards, Tim Schwartz Bristol Electronics That might be the sticking point; the size and other physical--as opposed to electrical--specs. Everyone else seems to be assuming a 3AG-size fuse, when it could be something quite different. jak |

Everyone else seems to be assuming a 3AG-size fuse, when it could be something quite different. Outside the USA, 'American' size fuses are all but unknown. I imagine this tape deck may use International (IEC) 20 x 5 mm fuses as these are the most widely used in consumer electronics worldwide. This would be one of these (not the difference between fast and slow blow types). http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search Graham |
