As a TV repairman for 23 years, I now repair pins as a hobby. I found that
a blown fuse usually means a short somewhere. Pop in a new fuse and in a
matter of seconds it is gone. Solution--locate some old circuit breakers
used in TV's, etc., in the 60's & 70's. They come in many different
amperes. Just attach a couple of clip leads to the proper size circuit
breaker and then clip it to the blown fuse socket. The breaker will kick
until the problem can be found. Then you can install a new fuse. These
breakers can be found at older TV repair shops and some electronic parts
stores.
