Hi,

I scored an Orban 245f for peanuts recently but the unit came sans-
fuse / fuse housing (described as not-working by the guy I bought it
off but not entirely sure this wasn't just because he hadn't bothered
to replace the fuse). Have downloaded the manual but am not sure how
to determine what fuse the unit uses. Can anyone suggest what fuse
the unit requires?

Thanks

The manual doesn't say? If you have a link to the manual on line I'll
take a look at it. Or you could always call Orban. They're still very
much in business. Can you figure out how to replace the fuseholder?

The manual should have both a parts list and a schematic. One of these
will list the fuse type. As I recall it is a 3AG-sized fuse.

Note that Orban once had a run of bad power transformers which tended to
short primary-to-core. Check the primary resistance before you put a new
fuse in.

According to the manual (page 20), the fuse is a 3AG 1.8 amp slo-blo.

Information doesn't get more official or authoritative than that!

"From God's mouth to your ear" indeed. I'm regularly re-impressed
by the quality of folks who post here, including your good self.

Constant vigilance! here of course.

Much thanks, as always,

Thanks so much Bob

I'm really not much good when it comes to the electronics side of
things and scanned through the manual but missed the fuse number.

Thanks again.
