A customer in my shop yesterday insisted his vintage receiver was 'too complex' for a simple fuse swap.

He said 'just sell me the part, I'll do it myself' after I explained the safety check I do for free with every fuse. Has anyone else had clients refuse basic service that prevents bigger issues?

That "sell me the part" line is so familiar. It's like they hear "free safety check" and think it's a trick to charge them, not you trying to save their gear. They don't get that the fuse blew for a reason, and popping a new one in might just fry something way more expensive. You can only explain it so many times before you just have to let them learn the hard way.

Maybe hugo_coleman28 is right, but sometimes a fuse is just a fuse.
