GeorgeSelinsky Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hello to all, I've been looking for a fuse for my Bolex ESM motor. It's a 2 amp fuse, which is 20 mm tall, and 5 mm wide at the contact point. The motor runs on 12 vdc. To me, this is like searching for a needle in a haystack. There are no serial numbers for fuses. Back in the old days there was an old smart guy with an electronics store who could find me any fuse I needed. Now the longhairded dudes in the radio shack that replaced him are scratching their heads (and no offense, I am also longhaired ;) It seems its impossible to find a decent walk in electronics parts store in the NY metro area these days. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Svalin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The fuse is a standard component in the el-shops, "Quick-blow fuse 5 x 20 mm" 2 amp. We've them in Sweden and they exists certainly in US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Mulder Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Just jam any ol' 2amp fuse in there - fuse wire is good, or a nail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Alt Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just jam any ol' 2amp fuse in there - fuse wire is good, or a nail ...or wrap the dead fuse in tin foil. In an emergency, that will work. :rolleyes: For fuses in the USA, try Parts Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
