I agree with barn9.......... I haven't changed a fuse on my 72 in years. I wouldn't be suprized if a couple of them are rusted in the sockets because it's still my work horse. Switching to a blade won't help much, it'll still blow. And the nice thing about glass fuse... you can see a blown fuse much easier (for us older folks) and in a DIRE EMERGENCY, you can wrap them with tinfoil (although not a smart thing to do) Just don't try using a .22 Long Rifle bullet like that guy did in the Darwin Awards a few years back.
