    1974(?) EM Bally Delta Queen

    I am an absolute Newby. I've had some issues with the fuses not making contact because the clips are loose, so I've ordered a new fuse panel and will soon be trying my hand at soldering. However, I would like to have some spare fuses on hand but I'm confused about what kind I should be purchasing. Attached photo shows four fuses, labeled with amps and volts. But when I go to, say, Marco Specialties to look for what I need I am not able to connect their offerings to the label.

    I'm sure this is a dumb question, but hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction.

    You want to worry about the amps.

    So you need one 15 amp, two 10 amp and one 8 amp fuse. These should be regular fuses not Slow blow fuses.

    FYI.
    - If you have a fuse that is blowing on a regular basis do NOT replace with a higher rated fuse. These are there to stop electrical issue that may cause a fire.
    - The voltage is what type of circuit it is feeding. the 6V are for lights (Usually one for playfield and the other for the head).
    - 50 amp is for the coils
    - 8 amp is for the main power

    Quoted from Xenon75:

    And yes all Bally EM fuse clips suck! Welcome to the hobby!

    Thanks! Now I have a follow up question. I see two fuse holders that look like suitable replacements. Is the difference between the two simply that one requires soldering while the other you just screw the wires into place?

    I prefer the solder style, but if you are unable to solder then the screw type would work in a pinch.
