I went to a local auto parts store (Napa) and looked at their fuses.
They're packaged with their logo, but when you look at the fuse itself, it
has the same "BUSS" lettering, I assume they're Bussmann? Other than the
"AGC" instead of "AGS", they seem to be identical. It was $1.50 for 5
compared to $30-50 online (with minimum orders for aircraft parts). Could
it be this easy? I couldn't find on Bussmann's website anywhere that says
AGC replaces AGS, though.

Bussman is now part of the Cooper Group, and the current data sheets are
available he
http://www.cooperbussmann.com/3/Coop...SheetList.html and the
AGS
Series is apparently discontinued.
As a former avionics tech, I was curious since I do not recall ever having
seen an AGS Series fuse. The nomenclature suggests that it was/is a 1/4
inch diameter, fast blow, glass tube type fuse and the letter "S" would
have
designated the length.
I was curious and decided to look for it, but could not find anything of
value. However, there are a lot of Cessna 150 aircraft still in service.
My advice, as a former avionics technician, is to ask Cessna and/or a
repair
center. There is obviously an approved substitute, which almost certainly
includes a replacement for the Fuse-Holder, and (if it was my aircraft) I
would ask Cessna what kit they offer for the purpose--including any
instruction sheets and guidance on any required maintenance log entries.
I
would then purchase the documentation from Cessna and, if it is only
available as a kit with the parts, the additional cost will save the
additional shopping--and time is money. Remember that your alternative is
to rsk a failure at a remote location after the last of those old fuses
has
been sold.
