I picked up a vintage pair of Polk Audio Series 7B for FREE :eek: with the peerless tweets... they are a bit dusty - but no damage and the guy said they work great.

Both fuses in the rear look like they are intact, my question is if I wanted or had to replace those fuses - what size and capacity are they?

    Yep.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    single fuse (which is what I think the 7B would've had) would indeed be 1A. It should say so (probably labeled 3AG 1A 250V or AGC 1A 250V on one or both metal ends).

    If each speaker has two fuses, the other fuse (system fuse) would be 1.5A.

    Thanks to all.... Each speaker has one fuse only on the rear above the wire connect hubs.
    I cleaned up these 7B and the sound fantastic. I don't know why this guy was giving them away... excellent score!
