All 4 Rail Fuses go Nucular

That works....

Wild guess: ' Highway to Hell' ?

Excellent wild guess.

Someday there will be an insurance ad about WOPL damage and they covered it.

Some times I get the urge to throttle up with some songs but my speakers always give me a little warning to knock it off. I already listen usually way to loud but man, that volume control just beckons you sometimes SOA or not

 

[Whoreo]

Nice job on the fuses lol.

I usually tend to get into that upper 2/3rd range on the volume knob with vinyl. I find it dials in a lot nicer than cds and even reels. Though the reels dont need that much volume considering the range of sound offered on the lower spectrum.

AC/DC, nice choice. Always been a huge fan of Ride On.

If all your fuses go nucular, shouldn't this be playing???

​

 

[FredR]

Thought I better stock up on 8 amp fuses.

 

[laatsch55]

Shhoulda bougjt a box of 100....
Now THAT is stocking up...

 

[THD+N]

Those don't look like AGX type fuses, they are too long. AGX fuse dimensions are 1/4" (W) x 1" (L).

When I WOPL an amp I change all fuse holders to AGC. AGX is a PIA.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Yup.... Anybody in need of 1 million agx fuses and holders???? Obsolete shit for sure.

Saving all of mine for the second coming.

What's old is new....

Perry, just guessing here. Was the reasoning in using those that PL did not want someone putting the wrong fuses on the rails ? Like someone confusing the 8 amp for them ?

 

[laatsch55]

Nothing that logical im sure, probably cheaper....maybe eleectronic stuff wasAGX , maybe automotive AGC....who knows. It'd be nice to have an answer...

[SUB]Bet Ed knows. He is the OEM PL Guru right ?

I know I replaced all of them on both the PL 400 and the PL 700. It was kind of a PITA either way. Try and find and order those tiny bastards or just replace. Either way a pain so I went with the "best route". Did you have a chance to look over the voice recording app or decide fuck it.

Right now I'm just getting an exercise routine going to prevent another clot, give me a week or two bud...

For a good technical reason
AGX is a very fast blow series for electronic instrumentation
AGC is a fast blow series for general application

AGX I squared T rating is lower than the AGC for an equivalent fuse rating.

The AGX5 blows in 1 second with 7A applied
The AGC5 blows in 1 second with 10A applied

Mouser always stocks AGX fuses.

And now we know...
