Default Newbie Barrel Fuse Question

Hi all;

This is a question regarding the fuse on my RCA CRT TV. I am looking at the fuse and it doesn't look like it is blown because the filiment inside is intact, but _is on an angle, I'm not sure if that is ok or not.

I wasn't sure if that is just they way it was made or if it is possible broken in there.

Thanks in advance for all help given.

Cheers,

Gary

Use a multimeter and test the fuse!.

Fuse elements that appear to be angled are not uncommon. Use your ohmmeter as Nigel suggests.
