Bob-

Remember the days of Heathkit? Some of their transmitters (DX60 for sure,
and I think a few others kits such as their high voltage power supplies for
transceivers) came with a fused power plug. It used 3AG fuses in each side
of the line held in with a clip arrangement. You could push out the fuse
with a stiff wire through a small hole so you didn't need to disassemble the
plug to change a fuse.  That's the only place I recall seeing that
configuration, and I don't recall seeing the fused plugs Heath used in
catalogs either.

        The UK scheme of placing an appropriately sized fuse in the plug seems like
        a great idea to me.

        btw: there is one exception to the lack of such protection in the US.
        Holiday light strings must have a fuse in the plug.
