"T" = time delay fuse not a quick blow one :-)


The fuses usually have a spring that can be seen through the glass

Please don't take this the wrong way, do you hold much chance of getting a
working unit if you can't work out what a 32m/a T fuse is

;-)

32 milliamp (0.032 amps - very low current!) The T may be a size or a
speed.
Europeans use a smaller physical size of fuse that the old US 1/4" style.
