I dont think the blasted fuse is in a fuse holder as such as when I
check on ebay they look similar ie as if they are in a holder.

I think the general observation has been that the PCB may have been
designed to take a surface mounted / traditional fuse holder (that
would accept a std 20mm / 1-1/4") fuse, or (for cost savings), a wire
ended fuse, soldered directly to the PCB, possibly in alternative /
smaller holes.
