Which Fuse Gorgar Flippers

[spacejam0]

Hi Guys
Need a little help to make sure I get the correct fuse.
Changed a few blown globes on Gorgar and must have upset something because the flippers stopped working. Looked at the boards and found a blown fuse on the power supply board which according to my poor copy of the manual is fuse F4 (flippers).
Now with my bad eyes and bad copy of the manual and faded markings on the really old fuse I'm having trouble reading it.
Here is what I think the manual says;
+28V
10A 9.B
Here is what I think the old fuse says;
BUSSAGG10
32V
I put in the F4 fuse from my Fire Power to test it and everything works fine. That fuse is heaps newer and easy to read-F10AL250V.
So what do I ask I'm thinking the same one as FP should be fine?
Thanks in advance

10 amp slo blo (S.B) according to the manual.

Higher voltage value eg. 250v is fine and probably better.

Thanks for that I should have realized it said 10A SB in the manual not 10A 9.B. The old fuse doesn't look like a slow blow nor does the one from my FP but best to stick with what the manual says over the existing fuse I'm guessing.
Out of curiosity what is the difference in how a normal fuse and a slow blow fuse function?

When the coil first energises a large inrush of current occurs. If you were to put a fast blow in and get someone to energise the coil while you watch the fuse, you'll see the wire inside flex slightly as it expands and then contracts. Slow Blow fuses are designed to withstand this flexing by having the wire coiled like a spring or a small blob of alloy which quickly melts and then solidifies again in a surge current situation.

Interesting and well explained I now understand. Thanks for that.
