Solid State Guitar Amp Forum | DIY Guitar Amplifiers

Another typical noob problem

When I got two realistic amps one was missing the screw 🪛 in fuse cap  :grr

The existing fuse cap fit both so I used that one as needed.  I "fixed" one amp which was the one that had it missing and I gave the working amp back to the guy I got both amps from.

The amp I kept and want to use now doesn't have a 3ag ? fuse holder cap  :grr

I went out to my boat anchor ⚓ graveyard 🪦 and I swear every single one is the kind with ears and push and turn 90 degrees style  :grr

So I bought some cheep ass  xP ten for eight bucks complete fuse holders and the cap is a smaller diameter and doesn't fit  :grr

I then thought about finding the correct thread size and finding a correct normal steel bolt 🔩 and cutting it down and cutting the head off and then insulating it  :grr

The other option is just replace or bypass the original factory 🏭 fuse holder but it's got a bunch of junk around it I hate to mess with it.

Actually it's probably just heat shrink and stuff probably no big deal  :grr
