I had no idea these things were beginning to get any kind of collectors value.

It might need some TLC also like new caps ect to get it sounding good. Do you have any old electronic/repair shops in your area they normally have a bin of old fuse holder parts. I had a loose fuse holder cap on my PA head that I noticed last week so I went to my electronic tech friend and got a used fuse holder from him to replace the one I had as other caps did not fit it the fuse holder was worn out so while a cap might work you may need the whole assembly too. The shaft sizes on these can be different sizes so I would measure first before ordering a replacement. I would just do a search for fuse holders online if you cannot find a local source. Lots of folks order from Mouser.
