I guess I must be missing something, Rick.  To what current level
would they fuse the aux output for?

It seems to me that the onus should be on whoever plugs whatever
into the output to install proper fusing in the line.  After all,
how can TT possibly know what you are going to plug in to the aux
V output?  I'd just go to Radio Shack, get an inline fuse holder
and a set of the appropriate sized fuses for the device.  The
upside is that (1) the device is now fused, and (2) wherever else
you plug that line for power for the device, the fuse is now
there.
