Greetings! I restored a Philco 48-1270 a while back and added a fuse to the line in just before the terminal block. I used a 1.5 A fast-blo and that held up fine until recently. I switched on the set first thing in morning and it blew in the first second. I can’t find anything wrong with her. Working fine right now. Do you think 1.5 A is a bit too small for the startup? She’s rated at 140W which I believe may be steady state. Anyway would appreciate some voices of experience.
