Can't find 800rb fuse

Sign in to disble this ad
I've looked everywhere: Radioshack, Guitar and amp repair shops, electronics supply stores and the internet. I can't find the 3AG7A fuse for my 800rb. I know they have to be somewhere. Does anybody know?

But yeah, it's just a fuse. You must be having an incredible run of bad luck to be having that much trouble tracking one down.

I didn't realize that it made a difference, but my 800rb is the old horizontal switch model. The fuse size is (my rough measurements with a tape measure) 3/4" x 3/16", not 1 1/4" x 1/4.

That makes it a type GMA.

Is there an underlying issue causing the fuse to go? Might be time for a service. That reminds me, it's probably time to send my 400RB in for a going over....

Any auto parts store should have them as well.

Didn't know they were GMA, or even what GMA was. Did some research, found them on amazon. Thanks!
