I was surprised when I looked at the fuse block for our bugeye. Wow. 2 fuses. Wow. NTL, was also surprised when I saw that the connections to the fuse block were screws compressing bare wire. Same as the voltage regulator it turns out.

I wasn't super impressed with the idea, so made up some solder-on ends to tidy up a little. I've attached shots of what I did - starting with a solder-on loop connector. This works really nicely!

I guess in the late 50s two fuses were all a person needed. That surprised me as well when I got my first Bugeye. I guess electrical shorts hadn't been invented yet. o_O
