[Boatanchors] Inrush Current Limiters

[Dennis DuVall]

What leads you to believe you might have an “inrush” problem with your V2?  Operating V2, Apache and military T-368 (400W out) here for many years with no such problems either in the equipment or on the mains side.
On the fusing question, V2s originally came with a pair of fuses mounted in the power plug.
