434 Power Supply Fuses and Rust

[jukeboxer]

Hello,

I've finally gotten the power supply removed for bench testing and cleaning, but these fuses are new to me. The 3A 25VAC ones are just white? Is that normal? I'm going to go ahead and just order a complete set of new fuses, but I wanted to make sure that the white ones were correct. They do have 3A stamped on them. Will any fuses of the right specifications work, or should I order jukebox fuses from a special place? My manual doesn't have anything related to the power supply, which I find strange. I might have a bootleg.

Also how to do I clean that rust on the transformer? I've got 0000 steel wool and evapo-rust, I'm just afraid I'm going to use the wrong thing.

Incidentally, when I tried to get the jukebox to do it's thing, it stopped at the selector wheel (looked like it found a selection but didn't do anything after that), and the selector fuse looks busted to me. I'm guessing that's not a coincidence.

Pics of the power supply and fuses have been added to my gallery: photos.app.goo.gl/8HSGyNqPwdvB9VBQA

Thanks in advance for any guidance! I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't see any problem with the white fuses provided that they are the correct value. The power supply doesn't look too bad at all - you could lightly wire brush the transformer and repaint it? The original service manuals came with a large overall schematic which showed the power supply. A lot of the cheaper repro manuals don't include this.

Thanks Norman, I'll try that. I appreciate the fuse knowledge.
