[Amps] Greetings and Question: what fuse do I use for the Clipperton L (and where do I get them)?

[Mike]

That does not make sense.

The fuse would be double the value for 120v, mine is a 15amp at 240v and the
fuse I took out for 120v was a 30amp.

Lower the voltage= higher the fuse value.

I recently bought a Dentron Clipperton L and the fuse is gone.  Everything
else 
is in fine order.  Looking at the manual, in the PARTS LIST (page 8), it
says F1 
is "12A at 117v, 18A at 234V."  


However, in the schematic, F1 is labeled "18A SB FUSE (12A SB at 234V AC)."

This amp appears to be still wired for 110-120v.  

I suspect the 18A SB Fuse is the correct one for our 110-120V mains here in
the 
States.  Can someone please verify this?

Extra points if you can point me in the right direction for buying these
fuses.

73!

PS - A short intro since I recently joined this list:  I've been a ham since

1983.  I enjoy DXing, contesting, building gear and antennas, QRP, digital 
modes, CW, and many other facets of this great hobby.  Back in 1983, there
were 
even more cranks saying ham radio was dying.  I guess it's dying even more
now 
since our numbers have gone up considerably, and the CW sub-bands have only 
become more popular.  If this is a dying hobby, please give me the grave
with 
the STEPPIR mounted to the top of my Rohn gravestone/tower.
