Hi Paul,
When operating at 115-120V, one should use a 10 ampere slow blow fuse with the 500w external amp. When operating at double the input voltage (ie. 230-240V), then the fuse value is cut in half to 5 ampere slow blow fuse.
Sincerely,

Here you go it's a 5 pack for $7.50: http://shop.vetcosurplus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=114_159_161&products_id=1016
The 125/250 volt rating is the max so it should work fine with 115-120 volt US household electric.
