Can anyone confirm these fuses are the correct ones for the MTS amps?

I need to replace a fuse in my Lynch Box.
 
If you're replacing the main fuse (the one in the back under the voltage selector) you want a Slo-blo fuse, NOT quick acting.
The RM100 uses a 4.0 Amp Slo-Blo fuse.
 
I am replacing a fuse for a power tube. The manual states FAST BLO 250mA (1/4 amp). These just look bigger next to that dime than the one I pulled out.
 
O.K. You need a 5mm X 20mm fast blo fuse.
You can use .312 A
If you do a search on the forum you'll find recommendations to that effect.
 
VERY IMPORTANT
Tube Depot lists 5mm X 20 mm fuses.
I just checked and their list shows a 3.12 amp fuse
You need a .312 Amp NOT 3.12 Amp.
 
Yeah, I don't think they carry the ones that I need. Their 5x20 only go to .5a. I am going to go to Radio Shack and make this easy.
 
A .5 Amp passes more current than .312 which passes more current than
.250. The amp calls for .250 A.
 
Julia is correct about the .400 A fuses. I don't think RS has .400.
They do have .312 A which will also work.
The fuse we're talking about is on the plate voltage.
.500 A ( 1/2 Amp) may not blow fast enough to protect the HV
winding.
The damage this fuse prevents (among other things) is the heater current
shorting to either the output winding or the HV supply should the output tube fail with the plate shorted to the heater.
 
I went to Radio Shack and they didn't have any in stock. Guess I'll order those from Amazon/Parts Express.
