Hi
I'm converting this organ amp into a guitar amp.
Right now there's no fuses in the PSU.
The schematic refers to 5 fuses between each one of the secondary taps to the rest of the circuit, but I don't think there's enough room for adding 5 fuses in the chassis.
So instead I would like to add one fuse between the on / off switch to the primary side of the power transformer.
How can I calculate the fuse size?

A primary fuse can't take the place of secondary fuses, you actually need both. That said, F1/F2/F5 are a bit overkill, there really is no need to fuse AC heaters. A 1A slow-blow should be right for the primary.
