While I like the BM-235, my frustration finding the SIBA 7017240.0.4 replacement fuse continues. I'm trying to avoid eBay and Amazon as there is no way to know if you are getting a clone/copy.  I called SIBA USA, they gave me 3 US websites to try. Only one even listed the fuse, no stock, minimum order of 10, and it's a SPECIAL order. Not a good situation.

They're not located in the US, but TME carries both fuses needed for your BM237 and sells them as singles (they're in Poland).

* SIBA 7017240.0,5
* SIBA 5019906.11

Thanks, I had remembered them from some other comments here someplace and wrote them this morning, but no response yet.

The first fuse you linked is 500 mA, not 400 mA, so that's not the spec the manual calls for. I'm not electronically qualified to know if the small 100 mA difference is acceptable?

The larger Bussmann fuse, I solved by getting lucky and was gifted a few of those, so I just need the smaller ones now.

I kept this TME link to a fuse listed as made by "Brymen", but was waiting to see their response to my email.

Thanks for trying to help, getting spare fuses should not be so difficult, I hope Dave considers offering spare fuses next time.

MacMeter:
Here is the email reply from TME (note: no mention of the Brymen fuses, I sent a followup email asking about those, but did see NO stock for those on their site either)

Ideally, you would want to stick to 400ma/440ma as the meter's spec.

Siba's P/N for such a beast is 7017240.0,4. Sadly, it seems no one carries them; not even as a special order.  :palm: The 500ma version is readily available however, and it may have to do (it would still protect the user).

The only other thing I can think of, is getting them directly from Siba or Brymen.
