400/800/1200XL Power Supply fuse replacement?

[oracle_jedi]

Does anyone know what rating the fuse in the 9VAC power supply is?

 

While trying to install a stereo mod in my 1200XL today, I managed to do something dumb, and blew the fuses on 2 power supplies.

I can't recall offhand, but when you open the power supply the rating is stamped into the fuse endcap. Opening is simply a matter of breaking open the seam between the top and bottom pieces of the case, if done carefully it can be hardly noticeable.

I had to order them some weeks ago, too. The rating is T 4A.

Thanks guys. I pulled the unit open and as JoSch stated, they are 250V 5A fuses - even in the adaptor designed for the U.S. market.

 

I tried mounting a panel mount fuse to the unit but there isn't enough room to do it, so I got an inline fuse holder from Radio Shack and some fuses, and the power supplies are running again.

A stereo mod is one of the 3 mods I'll be installing in a 1200XL. If it's okay, may I ask what you did that you'd recommended *I* not do? O.o

 

Thank you, in advance!

I kept the lower RF shield in place as I like the extra weight it adds to the unit. I think I manage to shift that out of position so it bridged something it shouldn't have.

 

Now the unit is running again, and Yoomp detects stereo - but I only have sound on one channel.

 

Swapped POKEYs and swapped the Dupont connector on the Lotharek board to test all connections downstream of the mod board. Everything is fine but I am getting nothing from the right channel.

 

Hope you have more luck than me with this!
