The MAINS input fuse, a Toyo 6A blew on my amp. I assume the 6A is 6
AMPS, but at what voltage rating ? The amp is 120/240 VAC switchable.

Is it a 20mm type ? If so it'll certainly be 250V.

OK, what are your choices for an exact replacemnt?
(i.e. if it is an exact replacement, it will automatically
be the correct voltage.)

The principle is that you want a voltage rating that will
safely interrupt the expected voltage. If it is a mains
circuit, then the voltage must be at least equal or greater
than your mains voltage (which you didn'gt state).

MAINS input is 120VAC/60HZ... it's a standard AGC-type fuse, so
perhaps
a local store may have one, or even a 5A should work. I presume it is
a slo-blow
type..the glass has clouded such that I can't see the remainer of the
element.
