Old Fuses

[kenmac]

I have those type in my fence charger. I keep a few around.. I still have some old screw in style fuses that were used in home fuse boxes before breaker boxes existed

The 2amp fast blow fuses are good inline protection for speakers in a high powered stereo system. If you turn the volume up too high and cause the amp to clip, the fuse will blow before you melt the voice coils on the speakers.

I've gone through a few of those for that reason. No longer have that system.

I think I’ve got one of those fuses in a volt meter and a couple in a cigarette lighter plug ins for accessories, like a sprayer and flashing beacon.

What kind of equipment do they go in? I thought they were for old cars. What do you have around your house today that would sue these types of fuses? Maybe I will make a small collection for myself and ship you the rest. They are pretty old and definitely made in America like 90% of the stuff I got out of my dads shop.

My tractor, rider mower, rototiller and other equipment use those glass type fuses.

For the 12VDC items I have to plug into the power outlet in a vehicle, these are used.

Today the glass fusses cost more than the plastic mini-fuses.
