[Boatanchors] OT: I need a 15 amp pigtail fuse for 300 watt tube bass amp

[Bob Young]

It's in the power line feed, I was wondering if it blew just because it was old also but it vaporized inside the glass so I think there is something wrong with it but I won't know until I find the fuse. They aren't common that's for sure I couldn't find a pigtail 15 amp fuse at Mouser today. I think I might just get those ceramics on epay and hope they're fast blow,

You never know... This thing has two fuses in series, which isn't that 
common, either.

The fuse will not be in line with the speaker wiring if it is a tube amplifier.

I am not familiar with this amp. If the fuse is in the power line feed, it's probably a slow blow type.
If it's in series with a speaker, it's probably fast acting. Another clue: If it blew before a 10A fuse, it
may be fast
 acting (but then again, if it was old, it may have blown just because it was old   :-)   ).

>I use 300 watt all tube amps to play bass through and they have an external 10 amp fuse in series with a soldered in 15 amp gjv fuse (pigtail fuse), does anyone know a source for these, are they fast blow? This fuse blew before the ten amp slow blow did. There is an ad on ebay for 15 amp ceramic pigtail fuses:
