Vintage Synth Repair

I spent my weekend digging through some synths that have not been used in a while and came up with lots of troubles on various synths. About the only repair I am capable of taking on myself is my very first synth: an ARP Odyssey with the 4035 filter which blew a fuse when I was handling it plugged in and turned on with a brittle and failing power cord. I can replace the cord and maybe even the fuse, except that I can't quite figure out what the deal is with the fuse holder or if there's a fuse holder at all. It looks like each end of the fuse is inserted into a metal cup that's soldered into the power supply board but there's no moving or dislodging the fuse from the holder. I might add that this Odyssey has been through an apartment fire 30 years ago so the insides are less than pristine though it's always worked faithfully for me so there's some chance that the metal has fused. Given that I've damaged several synths with my mucking around and that
 I'm dealing with high voltages, should I just add that Odyssey to my pile of repairs for a professional to fix? 
  Thanks,
