They will fit but they will sit on the loose side in the holder as they are slightly narrower in diameter.

Or you can wait and order the correct diameter fuses from rtbb who carries the US style fuses.

Have you worked out why the fuse blew and corrected it first?

What diameter are the US style fuses?

pinsanity:
It is a minimal difference between the two.

If it is noticeably loose, then a solution is to bend the clips closer together with a pair of needle nosed pliers and it should be fine.

Homepin:
An excerpt from my book:


"Because pinballs are usually American made machines, fuses used in DMD pinballs are 1¼  x ¼ inches or about 6.3mm x  31.75mm - in most other countries the industry standard 3AG types measure 6mm x 30mm and this is very likely what you will be able to buy locally.

Keep this slight size difference in mind when replacing fuses as the clips that hold the fuse may need to be bent in slightly to accommodate the marginally smaller diameter part."
