1972 Rhodes 88 replacement fuse

[matlanta2007]

I am looking for a replacement fuse for my 1972 Fender Rhodes Eighty-Eight.  It specifies a 2 amp slo-blo fuse on the side of the cabinet, but I can't find one that fits properly (or which looks like the original).

I'm having difficulty finding any information online.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I don't remember off hand, but I believe I have used "5A 2.5 slo-blow" without any problems.  I believe those are a very standard size.

Please don't sub a higher amp fuse. It only comes into play if you have a failure, but it's an important safety feature.

This should be fairly widely available, but check in auto parts stores.

And there you have it thanks again Rob!

I don't want any Rhodes lovers to get zapped.

:shock:

At my the school where my wife teaches, you get "zapped" when you don't finish your homework.  I'll have to send one of the kids in with a blown fuse and burn the ends of their hair off as an excuse sometime.
