PDP-12 Power supply question

The 8/L's have fuses in them, and yes they are worth replacing.

Do tell ...

Pretty simple: Measure the peak current of your machine in a running state and set the fuse to be slightly higher than that. I've put "safety" fuses into a number of things like my 30 year old electric truck, and if something goes wrong they blow well before components do.
