If you look on the board that the fuse sits on you will see printed it states 6amp 125 Volt / 3amp 250Volt. This means that you can use either one. I think that is why the fuse states E.6.3 125Volt... I think it means either 6 amp (125 Volt) or 3 amp (250 volt). I noticed on the back of a fuse package that I bought that it stated these were interchangable so I put two and two together.

Radio Shack has pretty much any fuse you need (although you may have to buy a pack of 5 of them).

Do NOT use a higher amperage rating that required. It has that rating for a reason.

If the fault occurs again, and you had a higher rated fuse in it, it will have too much resistance and possibly damage another component.

A LIGHTER AMPERAGE FUSE WILL BURN OUT,, A HIGHER AMP FUSE MAY DESTROY YOUR EQUIPTMENT,,, Use Radio shack as Nitrotrike Suggested.. Get the exact same fuse,, however in the event you cant, get another fuse with similar vales and a fuse holder, then just wire the fuse holder to the contacts on the holder with the fuse you are attempting to replace,,

BTW something always causes the fuse to blow,, if you dont know what has caused it chances are it will happen again if you dont get that fixed..

Same fuse problem.
250v i tried it'll blow as soon as you press power.
special shops or computer repair places might have one.
http://www.nexttronics.com/catalog/sony/9/990998001.htm
this place has one for a sony vaio
but it's five bucks and it's too small for my house stereo...but i'll
fix that.
but if you are going to go cheap use a 6amp and keep the voltage 125. it could make the lights dimmer or speakers weaker so i wouldn't recommend ever using the wrong fuse...especially on a tv or camera

No, you may use a higher amperage (6.3a or higher) fuse (not lower) but the voltage 125v has to be the same

SOURCE: 6.3 slow-blow fuse

This worked for me. My set has a little panel around the power cord with a single screw; the real trick is fitting my hand in there to change the fuse. I guess they make the opening for monkeys or small children or something.

I have a pair of Technics SL-1200MK@ Turntables and I blew the fuses on the curcuit boards. I'm having trouble finding a discontinued fuse. If you know anyone selling them, please post some links for...

Any decent electrical shop should have those fuses. They tend to come in 20mm and 30mm lengths. You will need to know which. Also there are fast blow and slow blow fuses. If you have the originals and you can see the remains of a coil then you want slow blow. Otherwise just replace them with fast ones. The 1.2 amp fuse can be replaced with a 250 volt fuse.
So you want a 250ma 250v fuse.
and a 1.2A 250v fuse.

Can't find 2A 125v fuse replacement for on-off will 250v be OK?

There is no difference between a 125v and 250v fuse. The most important thing is the 2Amp. This fuse is probably the line fuse and could be the only trouble and may have blow with a line surge. Make sure the 2A you use is a Fast Blow Type. If it does blow again you most likely have a internal power supply failure.

6.3a slow-blow 125v fuse

Hi, If the fuse physically fits into your unit then it will work. However- - - WARNING! Although 6.3 amps on a 250v fuse will allow the current to flow it will not afford you the circuit protection you require for a 125v circuit. If the circuit develops a fault then there is a danger that you burn out the circuit before the fuse. As you have already blown one fuse I would suggest tracking down the fault before you do any thing else.
