Mac Plus analogue board glass fuse
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2020-12-14 02:38:09
Does anyone know off the top of their heads what the glass fuse on the incoming mains is rated on a 230V Mac Plus analogue board?  I am currently far away from my machines and I need to order one because I blew it up. 🙂

Looks like 1.6A, Slow-blow (T)  🙂

Anything shorted ? the fuse is not supposed to blow up without reason.

The reason was 'cheesestraws was careless with a screwdriver and there was a bit of a bang', I'd prefer not to go into it too deeply ;-)

There are some days one should simply not be working on anything mains powered at all.  That day, I shouldn't have been left in charge of a light switch, let alone a soldering iron...
