18 position 30 amp fuse blocks? Our 79 Newell has an 18 position 30 amp fuseblock in the bedroom cabinet. 2 or 3 positions are broken and have been bypassed. I would like to restore to original condition. Are these big fuse blocks still available - or - is there a circuit breaker type upgrade? Thanks.
We suggest replacing the old style fuse blocks with new style ATO fuse holders. ATO fuses are the type typically used in new automobiles. The new holders and fuses are more reliable and more compact then the old style "bus" fuses. The holders are available from Newell parts, 1-888-3NEWELL, at $22.70 for the five fuse block. The fuses, available in a variety of capacities, are extra.
