Mc Crypt PA-5000 fuse ratings

Hi rat!
I was given a Mc Crypt PA-5000 amplifyer with the two internal fuses
missing. Fast 2 A fuses were blown by power up only, probably by
charging the capacitors. Fast 7 A worked, but are probably overrated.
The AC current measured with a multimeter goes up to 3.7 A peak during
strong deep basses. I read the unit is prone to dying (domed or
leaking capacitors) under high load so maybe 4 A fuses are still too
high and a more protective slow 3 A fuses may be sensible. What do
you think? Which rating are the original fuses?
I have a pair of McCrypt loudspeakers that are LD-Systems in disguise.
Thanks, Bernhard
Kind regards
