Alright. I've done a whole lot in a short ammount of time. Cleaning
out the Oscilloscope was no simple task, but It's done. Dried and
everything. And, as luck would have it, my fuses arrived today. Now's
the really tricky part: finding the right fusecap.

Not so much as finding the right one, but making a temporary one
until I can find a replacement one. I've also brushed up on my
electronics vernacular, so I should have a much better idea of what
you guys are talking about now as well. Alright, so I haven't given
it much thought yet, but I've read in a couple of places that you can
make your own fusecap using a machine screw and some electrical tape.
Not sure on how WELL this would work, but I have plenty of
replacement fuses if something goes wrong so I'm not too worried. Is
there an easier way to do this? I mean, I can assume the head of the
machine screw would be on the outside while the other end would be
holding the fuse in place. Hmmm... Any better ideas?
