Power Entry module (Twin fused?)
#3
I agree with Kevin here.  I'm slowly redesigning all the amps I build to only have internal fuse holders because I run into exactly what he is describing.  It seems like many players do not understand what the function of a fuse is and that they blow to protect the amp so they will install higher value fuses or a piece of foil around a match stick thinking that the fuse itself is the problem. Many a transformer has been killed that way!   I like to use a through hole holder that mounts with a screw or rivet to the chassis rather than mounting them on the board but that is just a personal preference.  If it's your personal amp and you know better than I guess it won't matter as much.
