1982 Seca 750

Thanks for the quick reply - the problem is that the silly prongs that hold
the fuses are broken. That's the part that needs replaced. Any reason why
I wouldn't be able to find something? Any thoughts on where?

Check radio shack if you have one near you. You should be able to find
something even if it is a new fuse block.

you could use standard line fuse holders from any auto
store.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Thanks for all the support - I actually went to Radio Shack and bought a
standard 4 fuse holder and two packs of blade connectors. It replaced
everything (though not quite as nicely as the box listed in this thread) in
about an hour. Works fine - and cost less than $10. Now to fashion some
type of protective cover...
