Re: Thurlby PL Bench PSU with strange add-on
If they're that cheap I'll quite happily buy a fiver's worth and make the spares available to anyone who wants them

Re: Thurlby PL Bench PSU with strange add-on
Just when you think you've almost finished a job....
I decided to replace the mains cable that had been chopped very short. To give myself better access I removed the fuse holder from the back panel, and on refitting it the damn thing decided to disintegrate while I tightening up the retaining nut Does anyone have a part number for the fuse holder or a spare they'd be willing to sell me, please? It's a pain trying to find parts like these on eBay because sellers don't always supply vital information like the dimensions of the mounting hole...... |

Re: Thurlby PL Bench PSU with strange add-on
This always annoys me. The one listed here requires a 12mm / 1/2 inch hole though despite no specification listed. This may be a defacto standard but I'm not sure. I've bought quite a few over the years for projects.

Re: Thurlby PL Bench PSU with strange add-on
Thanks for the suggestion. Do they have an anti-rotation flat like the broken one does? I measured the hole as 13mm diameter with 11.5mm where the flat is.

It doesn't but the plastic is workable if you want to file one side flat.

Re: Thurlby PL Bench PSU with strange add-on
Dont forget Maplins for "emergency" parts like this (Open Saturdays and Sundays)
Its so easy to go to Ebay to save a few pence, but wait days for delivery. They have four or five different panel mount fuse holders listed, and i am sure one would do as a replacement. Peter

Re: Thurlby PL Bench PSU with strange add-on
There was one fuse holder that looked like a good match but neither of my local Maplin stores had any stock.
Not to worry, I've found some on eBay. Hopefully they will be okay when they arrive! |
