Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bally, 1977One of the legs broke off on the 5amp fuse holder (picture below). I do have the leg, but am not sure of the best way to re-attach it. Any suggestions?
Or, can I order a replacement fuse holder? Macro specialties carries quite a few, but I'm not sure which to get (don't want to blow anything up!). Any suggestions there as well?
Cheers,
Marc
Quoted from chas10e:Radio Shack if there is one still around you , automotive parts place should have some as well
best to get some for the other fuses as well
Thanks buddy - is it important to get a 5 amp holder for the 5 amp fuse?

Bally fuse holders are garbage. Replace ALL & check fuses for proper values... have yet to restore a pin that actually had all of the correct fuses in it.
I was lucky enough to buy up most of the parts and 2 sets of parts drawers when our local Radio Shack closed up. Lots and lots of parts I have been using on my pinballs. There were 12 packs of the 5 position fuse holders in the lot. At the retail value of just the fuse holders I made half my money back. They are perfect for replacing those old cheap ones.
O'Reilly auto Parts stocks the 4 position "break-away" fuseholders where you break off just what you need:

Awesome - thanks everyone!
I started using this fuse holder as my standard replacement. Since finding them locally leads to poor selection or no selection, I just order them.

I picked up the 4-pack at O'Reilly's today and they worked well, but that one looks a lot better (bigger wholes to feed the wires through). Gonna order some to have some on hand.
Thanks buddy
