[Elecraft] new owner looking for fuses.

[John Clemmer]

Hello Don.  when I talked to the guy at elecraft, I am almost positive he said slow blow fuses.  In the manual' it says 3 AG fast blow.  Really confused here.  Looked at the power cord that Mike sent with the amp.  It's a 220 power cord.  Ordered a heavy duty 15 amp power cord today.  I have a 10 amp but don't think it is heavy duty like the guy said to use. 


Does elecraft have a way of ordering replacement parts or a source where they get their parts.

I have 110 and am looking hard for fuses for the KPA 500.  Manual says two 12 amp fuses for 115V.  tech said use slow blow ones.  Any suggestions.  Can't seem to find a forum for Elelecraft.  Will 12 amp 230 v work????
