Re: Advise On Fuse Amperage... Please, Please.
Not having one of those fuse testers I have always checked suspected fuses out in the same way. Find another device with the same fuse rating, turn off at the socket and pull out plug. Undo the two screws in the plug top to reveal the fuse, check it's the same rating as the one you suspect to be faulty, take the fuse out and replace the suspected faulty one. If the device then works you know it's the fuse. Then either replace the faulty fuse with another of the correct rating if you have one, if not buy one, preferably two or three so next time a new fuse is required you have a replacement.There is some useful information about fuses on the links below:

Judd. I feel sure l’ve seen something like that in my garage but l didn’t know what it’s for.I must look for it tomorrow.
Better still, possibly not much more expensive and much easier to buy a new meter, like the one suggested above!
They're very useful.
