Default Modify Astron Power Supply

: And there should be a fuse in there to blow between the
: filter cap and crowbar.

No, a really bad practice... don't do it.

: The supply was actually 3rd world designed and made I swear.

Many parts/portions are done in Mexico...

: Better yet, put in a Resettable Circuit Breaker, as you can never find
: the right fuse, and they ALWAYS blow at the worst possible moment.....

No... you're asking for a serious problem and it's just a question of
