i know it reads on the back:

3A mains

1A for HT

NOT slo-blo for the HT fuse. You want a fast-acting fuse for that. It'll save your OT or choke in the event you get a shorted tube or something in there one day.

yeah, sorry about that- it was early when I replied and I was trying to quickly get out of the house... the 1 amp is definitely not a slo-blo.

The mains on the back of my OR80 (with pix) say 3A for 200+v and 5A for 115v (which is US). But yeah, 1A for the HT.
