[HAM] (OT) Wurlitzer 200a EP fuse questions

[Drew Hoelscher]

1)  You can replace the pigtailed fuse with a non-pigtailed fuse by 
using a fuse block or an in-line fuse holder.
2)  Do not jump the fuse with a wire.  That would be dangerous to your 
Wurly (and possible to you).
3)  The fuse is there for a reason -- replace it!  It saved your Wurly!  
Do not change its value (250V / 1/2 AMP).
4)  Fix the bare wire.  A bare wire which blows the fuse by touching the 
hum guard is a dangerous situation.
