Ed, it would take longer to lift the TV off the bench to store it until 
the part comes in and have the customer held up for a few days, then it 
would to solder a couple of wires on a fuse. I forgot to mention that I 
usually take a resistor with full length leads and bend the leads to 
reach both ends of the fuse, then I solder the resistor to the fuse and 
then clip out the resistor afterwards. It makes it simpler to hold the 
wire to the fuse while soldering.
