Anyone know what type of fuse is used in a Bolex ESM motor? Mine, which I suspect is blown, is labeled M1.6/250E. I'm shooting this weekend in a relatively small town & none of the shops I called have those and I could only find 1 place online selling them (with a minimum purchase quantity of 40)... I understand thats it's 1.6 amps, 250 volts, and "Medium" blow - but is there another term or coding that they're sold as that's more common?
This morning I made a dumb mistake by accidentally plugging the motor into the charger jack of battery compartment instead of the camera jack. I tried to run camera, nothing happened, I realized the mistake and switched it to the correct jack. Camera then ran for about a minute, but battery & cable heated up in that min of use and then motor would no longer turn on. I've been able to check battery power, was able to make sure that the cables arent faulty, and the best I've been able to deduce is that the fuse was blown because I had sent a reverse charge to motor. Fortunately we also have an S8 camera with us and switched to that today, but it would be great if I could get the 16mm running for our next two days on location. Sorry to be long winded. Thanks in advance for the help. Best, Justin
