WhoDat Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Last year, i kept blowing fuses on an overloaded channel (which is now fixed, my fault). So the constant replacing of the fuses actually wore out the little fuse cover. So, i had to steal one from one of my (GASP) unused boxes. . . . . however, this year, that box will not sit idle. . . . So. . .Anyone know where i can buy a couple of these replacement fuse housing/assemblies?Anyone know the part number? I tried digging around on Mouser, but not having any luck finding the right one.Thanks!WhoDat! Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saul Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm sure you can get one from lightorama easily. They are a few days backed up according to Dan, so I'd recommend opening a support ticket at at http://www.lor2.com/support/ this way you have a ticket number and are less likely to fall through the cracks.

Dennis Cherry Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Radio Shack might have the whole fuse holder and you could just use the new cap on the old holder.You might want to take the controller with you and see if the sales person would let you try the new cap.

WhoDat Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks. I appreciate the suggestions. I put in a ticket, but i know how busy they are right now, so I wasn't expecting them to drop everything for my little issue. I have to run to radio shack anyway to stock up on fuses. . . just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saul Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 do you have a kill a watt meter? it can save you a lot of time and fuses http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=202196386&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_sku=202196386&ci_kw={keyword}&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googleads-_-pla-_-202196386&ci_gpa=pla&locStoreNum=2831 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy West Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Has anybody ever had a fuse break inside the fuse casing?My unit would not fire up last night, so I figured my fuses finally went out. (I was right) I went to remove them. First one came right out but the second one was stuck. I got my needle noses out and pulled on it, and it snapped right at the bottom of the casing. I tried to get the rest of the fuse out of the casing but it is like major stuck. Almost think the metal part of the fuse has melted down at the bottom of the fuse casing.If that is the case, how do I go about replacing that fuse casing?
