I agree, these fuse suggestions are very good. They can prevent a lot of costly damage.

I always add a fuse in the powerline of any old device that did not come with one: TV's, radios, stereos, reel to reels, phonos, etc. Many of the consumer devices especially from the 40's and 50's did not have one. The fuse has saved a lot of damage in cases where a power supply diode has shorted.

Also I use a 300 ma fuse or a 6.3 volt 250 ma lamp bulb in the cathode circuit of the color set horizontal output. The lamp allows you to adjust the current just by watching the brightness.
