[sdiy] Russian replacement parts

So, as I'm frustrated by the sequencer, I'm taking a break and playing with
Danger.  Danger is my Sovtek MIG100 guitar amp, and if you've ever used one
you know why it got its name.

I'm finally going to try and make it a bit safer and I need some part
recommendations.

The fuse holders were very brittle bakelite and quickly shedded the shroud
around the base of the cover so you'd shock the crap out of yourself, and
the output jacks have all died.  So, I need a recommendation on a nice
isolated 1/4" jack that'll fit an 11mm hole ( I can ream it larger if need
be ) and I need a fuse holder that will fit a .7"/18mm hole, which seems to
be more of a problem in a 1/4" fuse.  Bussman holders are .6" and I can go
to the next size fuse and they jump to .8", which is a lot of reaming and a
not so eay to find fuse size.

Any ideas?

I may just pop rivet a chunk of metal in there and mount new fuse holders.
Its not like these amps will be collectable or anything unless Texas runs
out of ways to execute people...

Oh, and if I get this thing safe enough to use again, my neighbors will
thank you. ( okay, maybe they wont...  I think they already hate me... )
