Fuse question

[SuicideCircus]

Hey,
I did a search for this and couldnt find the answer.
I had one of the 400Ma fuses blow. I cant seem to find a 400 locally, but I have found a 500 MA 250V package at Radio Shack.

Will these work? Am I in danger with these??

Thanks

jkd...yea im a dummy... i manually found the post you suggested..you stated 400ma ? what about the rating?... there was one listed 5amp just for the main fuse but not the tube fuses.. the ones i looked at buying local were 250ma with a 2.5 amp rating.....what am i looking for here?..thanks

If i'm not mistaken, in that post they were running their tubes at 40+ with 500mA fuses. I was wondering if having the 500mA was protection for being able to run your tubes hotter than suggested by the manual. Is this safe at all?
