I encountered a weak fuse holder on one of my EMs, so I did an Amazon search and came across a fuse holder that uses the new style fuses. Is this a viable alternative to the classic fuse holders? as a side benefit, the fuses are very inexpensive.

How is your fuse holder weak? I only replace fuse holders if the housing has fissured at the screw or one of the clips is broken. If neither is the case, a pliers can be used to pinch the clips to tighten their grip on the fuse.
I had to resolder one of the wires, so I was thinking since it's 40+ yrs old, it might make sense to replace?
I generally use Bussmann BK/S-8001-1-R (with flat solder lugs) or BK/S-8002-1-R (with angled solder lugs) holders in older games.
I use Littelfuse # 354601-GY-354 Omni-Blok series:
These are also available to buy locally at auto parts stores and even at Radio Shack.
