Do you reckon the original MDP was probably a larger version of the hallway panels?

sparky66wv: I forgot to ask where he gets the fuse wire...?

I’m fairly sure it used to be in the Bussmann general catalog, but it doesn’t show up online.

Searched and found this site for fuse wire:

Wow, seven maufacturers/suppliers are in the USA. I wonder, is there really that much of a market for it, or is it just "old stock"?

Good Q Mike, I'll have to ask next time I'm there... Maybe I'll draw up a sheet of Q's so I don't forget them, and actually interview the owner, and record the answers so I don't forget 'em.

I may be back there in October for a stay for the Celebration in honor of the fallen in the Battle of Point Pleasant.

It's still widely available in England everywhere from electrical warehouses to the local hardware store, generally on cards with 5, 15, and 30A wire.
