Far more common to find the existing blown fuse wrapped in aluminium foil.

Well in some 2000-odd PAT tests I've never met that one, how often have you
come across it?

I used to see it a couple or three times a year back when I repaired
group gear, often on HT fuses in valve amplifiers, and back when 20mm
fuses started to become common in equipment, but not common in toolboxes.
It still amazes me that most musicians don't carry spare fuses around
with them.


Waste money on spare parts, and not have cash for their drugs? Hell,
some of them can't even afford to put enough gas in their beat up old
van to get to the gig.


Ah, you're talking about the good old days...
