Watch the fuse when you turn the set on cold and see if the degauss action caused the wire in the fuse to bend almost to the breaking point. If this is the case maybe an original time delay, or slow blow type fuse is what you need. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.
