As mentioned below, Radio Shack will have the fuses. They also sell the fuse holders - or they did the last time I went. Definitely no need to write to Sherwood.
You're probably not missing the bodies of the fuse holders, just the caps. .You need to inspect the body of the fuse holder on your Sherwood to see if the outer lip area has screw threads or not. Then compare it with the type sold at RS. The bayonet type doesn't have threads.
Re: the comment about it not being a good sign . . . it certainly means that the thrift store was unable to test the unit before selling it. Do they have a return policy?
The reason why they might be missing is of greater concern. Best scenario is that the previous owner needed them as replacements for some other equipment or perhaps they got broken when something smashed into the back. Worst scenario is that there is a more serious problem and they were intentionally removed, either after they kept blowing or, as a safety measure, to prevent it from being powered on. Old time techs also sometimes cut the power cords or plugs off gear when there was a serious problem.

Cool, I'm glad that Radio Shack would have the caps. It's a screw on type. If it doesn't work, I'm only back $10 and whatever the parts cost which I'm seeing is somewhat of a steal for the 7200. Thanks for the help!
Would I be able to get the caps on Parts Express and if so what would I need knowing that it's a screw on cap?
Check around, but I don't know if anyone sells just the caps. You may have to buy the entire fuse holder. If there's some place local that has a bunch of broken equipment you might be able to scrounge a few caps at no charge.

the reason I recommended calling Sherwood is that sometimes manufacturers will give small things like this free...at least the better ones do. it might help to have a users manual too to be sure you get everything right.
