Hey, that one fuse was probably one of those handy "Universal Replacement"
fuses. They look like regular fuses but they come in a box stamped "30"
(usually) or "35" or "40" (not as common). If that 5 A fuse keeps
blowing, just put a Universal Replacement in and it won't blow! In
stubborn cases, two Universal Replacement fuses can be used in parallel.
In _really_ stubborn cases, a suitable length of "Daerhtlla 02-4/1" from
Builders Square Aerospace will do the job for sure.

You're not far off the mark; there is supposed to be 3 each of 5, 10, and
15 Amps. There was one 15.

When we bought our house we had an HVAC contractor evaluate the heating
and cooling. Come summer, the AC didn't work. I traced the circuit and
found that in addition to the breaker, there was an outside fusebox, with
a removable module. The module had fuse clips for each hot, with two short
lengths of 1/2 copper pipe in each one. How could that possibly not work??
Turns out the contractor must have removed the module and then plugged it
in backwards so it didn't make connection. I have always wondered if that
was an honest mistake or a setup for an easy service call..

I find that a piece of quarter-inch copper tubing cut to length will hold any
load.

You don't have any rounds for your .22 rolling around under the seat?
