Card unit fuse and dongle

[deton8r]

I picked up a "parts" Fever Queen machine off eBay for $35 ($117 shipped). After some minor tinkering I got it working. All the lights work and even the reels are white and not pink. It needs a serious cleaning and has some battle scars but it's not bad for what I paid.

The 25-pin plug had a shorted out and blew the 125v 1a 20mm x 5.2mm fuse. I was able to pull a fuse and plug out of my Star Wars and got it all working . Anyway after inspecting the dongle plug I thought fixed the short and plugged it back in only to blow the fuse again. Now both Fever Queen and Star Wars are out of action..

Anyway, I haven't had much luck finding 125v fuses. Does anybody have a link on where to get the fuses? I believe they are SOC ULTSC-N1 125v but I'm not 100% sure.

Also, does anybody have a spare dongle they'll sell me?

TIA

They don't have to be 125v fuses, anything over 50v will be fine. Also you can use a smaller value than 1A as the dongle doesn't need this much current. Any 20x5mm fuse with a current rating between 250mA and 1A and a voltage rating between 50v and 250v should be ok to use.

If you can't find a more local source, I've got a few spare fuses and plenty of CR bypass dongles that I don't need any more. Only downside is that overseas shipping will take a week or so to reach you.

I would think fuses for older model cars or regular electronic fuses should work just fine.

just so they are the same length and similar amps.

any auto parts stores or Radio shack should have them.

Given this new info, I don't think the fuses will be hard to find. I'm also fairly sure I can save my bypass dongle so I'll give that a try first.

My search results kept bringing up your dongle emulator. I may have to get 1 or2 of these

Thanks for the help
