May be a silly question but wheres a good place to get fuses? Is radio shack a good place or is there a good place online? I moved my bz literally 8 feet and now its popping fuses and im out of 32v 20amp after popping the only 2 extras i had.
 
I get all mine through Happ if I need them. sneak them in with my other orders. lol

I get my stuff for my family's business though, not for like personal use or as a hobbyist or something, I think Happ has like a min order of $40 on shipping or something... that'll get you a lifetime of fuses. :)

I say if you need any huge items like a power supply or something, you can get them in bulk and in the exact type/amperage/slow/fast blo from there.

otherwise, I've gotten away in the past with those like car multipack fuses at the grocery store... but if you can get the real deal, get that instead.

To answer the question in the title of your post, try this site - it had the best prices at the time and still looks like it - I stocked up and made an order for myself and a couple of friends at the same time. The fuses work and I have been using them for about a year now. To answer your particular need, they don't carry the 32V fuses you need but the standard MDL, AGC, and "GMX" styles along with several others.

I got tired of hunting for fuses or borrowing from another machine so I bought one of those plastic PLANO boxes with many compartments, labeled them with my brother ptype, and printed and attached a list of the fast and slo blo standard types to the lid. It's "fully loaded" and ready for action. I have not had to hunt for a fuse in almost a year.

If I need them quick, I go to Radio Shack. If I am just getting low, I'll put in an order for some other parts and add fuses. Depending on the other parts I'll get them from Great Plains Electronics, Jameco or Unicorn.
