Al, Tech Assist archives has your answer..from Walter: I know how to read the Hitachi "protectors". I.E. marked 7000= m.a.=7k=7amps. 3000ma =3k= 3 amps. ETC. Can these Protectors be safely replaced with a "pica fuse"? If so, should it be regular , fast blow, or slow blow?

I have a fuse with # 7000 and silver band. Is this a 7 amp. Used in a Zenith (hitachi) ptv. When I replace a 1 ohm resistor the power supplies all come on. Zenith lists no spare parts in the manual, only new board. Replace a board for a bad fuse?? Al G Al's TV-Electronics Pembroke Ont.
