Gary,

Just saw this discussion; hope I'm not too late.  Don't worry about the 
fuses' voltage rating; that's the max voltage to use them on without 
them literally blowing up when they blow or arcing over after being 
blown.  What blows a fuse is current-generated heat. IOW, the amp rating 
is what's important.

Anyway doesn't the new rig have a fuse in its power cord or in the 
chassis?  Same question about a tuner.  Or are you going for double 
redundancy?
