Bad mode switch might explain the oddities except for the blown fuse.
I've replaced a butt load of mode switches once working for a
Goldstar/Tatung/Matsu****a/Sanyo factory authorized warranty center
but don't recall a bad mode switch taking out a fuse.

It's also possible the two things are unrelated - sometimes fuses just
go weak with age and a very small current hike can finish them off.
the drum thing is more unusual though.

Dirty rail from a bad ESR cap, maybe ? Might be worth just running an ESR
