Wow, this thread has a life of its own.
My friend, a very well informed former service advisor for Chevrolet searched for a replacement for the fuse locally and online - I don't know what efforts he made. However,from the past I know him to be thorough. He wanted an exact replacement, not a "should be OK" replacement - that's his mindset. I would have searched for an equivalent, but I'm not the customer.
To return to the drama, the price was quoted at $10.00 for 2; my friend gulped at what should have been $0.50 or so (guessing here, so please flame off), but went along with it. He's been happy with his SP-9MkIII for a long time. The shock was that shipping was $19.00, or just shy of twice the cost of the (way overpriced) thing being shipped. Were it a fancy fuse, hey fine, that's a different game. The shock, to repeat, was that it cost $19.00 to ship two fuses that would fit in tiny media mailer. Ridiculous.

So whether the part is 10 cents or $100, shipping is the same. Sorry to hear he didn't discuss this with ARC or that they didn't inform him before hand.

The more serious question is why did the fuse blow. often times there is a problem and that replacing the fuse does not solve the problem down stream.
