[GreenKeys] 2 1/2A SCREW IN FUSE

[Paul Wills]

I like to use the original fuses because they look right but, for 
troubleshooting or modifying a piece of equipment, I made up a bunch of 
"fuse adapters" from a burnt out fuse and an AGC fuse holder which I use 
until things are right.

It's useful even when the fuses aren't obsolete.  A GMT fuse isn't cheap!
