After buying some fuses a while ago and being shocked at the outrageous price I was charged for them I decided to do something about it. I went to a fuse factory and had a range of slow blow fuses made for me. Yes, there was a large minimum order quantity but I refused to believe that a humble 3AG fuse could sell for the following prices:
Dick Smith - $4.98 per pack slow blow (6 pcs) - $0.83each
Jaycar - $1.25 each (slow blow)
To top it off they didn't have the values I needed for the pin I was repairing.
Anyway after ordering from the fuse factory I thought it would be useful to offer the group here a selection at a sensible price (actually my cost price and I had to buy many thousands).
I have assembled a package of fuses that every pinball owner should have on hand.
10 each of the following (all slow blow types)
0.25A (250ma)
0.5A (500ma)
1A
3A
5A
7A
8A
10A
That's a total of 80 slow blow fuses at Jaycar prices (if they had the correct values) would cost a whopping $100 and that's without pack & post!
I will even throw in 10pcs of IN4007 diodes perfect for coil diodes, lamp matrix diodes or power supply repairs.
Total price including padded bag and postage anywhere in Australia or New Zealand is just AU$26.00 (Kiwis can pay NZ $32 into my ASB bank account).
I have limited packs available because basically I am too lazy to pack more.
Please email me if you would like a pack, please don't PM as I am pretty busy.
