My Cornell Plexi blew a fuse this evening… I'm blaming the attenuator fully for it.
Finding the right fuse online took half an hour of searching to get them in the UK. eBay wasn't helpful, unless ordering from the other side of the world, Maplins have a fucking useless search function, and when I did finally find them on their site they are rated at 60vAc. Much gaffing finally led to Amazon, and now I have 10 on the way.
Moral of the story… make sure you have all the fuses you need for amps, its a ball ache you don't need, especially if you have a gig coming up.
(as a side note, I ordered the wrong size first, and was most pleased with myself for finding it within a minute... If anyone needs a T1a 250 20mm x 5mm fuse, come talk to me!)

Err? Well under a minute. No. link won't work (why dat mods?) but pt # GL59P

Ooops! Sorry, did not know it was OLD kit!
I suppose you found GL917 1A Time delay 31x6mm? Yes these are rated at 60V ac but I cannot understand why? I have been fitting 1/1/4" fuses to all sorts of gear for the best part of 50 years, never occurred to me that they might be the "wrong" voltage rating?
I think it must be an error, I mean, WTF used 60Vac back then? In any case, standard 20mm fuses are rated at 250V but we use them in HT circuits of 500V+ (well over 700V in one case!)

Just glad to hear it's not the OT, you couldn't rule that out.
Are you going to Ebay the attenuator? If so, I would strongly suggest warning the buyer that it's not suitable for running at 8 ohms...
