VIC-20 Fuse Question

[robert_sissco]

I am a bit of a prepper and like to have a few spares on hands for common things that might break (it is what allowed me to fix a broken 1541-ii the same day I received it in the mail - the power switch was broken and swapped it out quickly with a spare I had).

I also keep fuses for the Commodore machines I have on hand, and they seem to be the same among the different versions of the C64's, but reading I saw in a few forums people noting that the VIC-20 uses different fuses from the VIC-20 CR board. I have 250V 3.5A fuses and I think those are meant for the older 2-prong VIC-20s, but what fuses do the VIC-20 CR take? I have not been able to verify the specs on that and am curious,

According to the schematic I found on Zimmers, the VIC-20CR has a 1A fuse.

The other schematic I found did not have a rating against the fuse...

Thank you. I had checked there, but I must have missed that. I appreciate it
