if the thin metal strip inside the fuse appears to be intact, the old fuse is most likely still good. i feel like we made something like this in muffin club before??? i was impressed with how this film was able to juggle so much at once. i wish your percussion would pop out a little more though--- it sounds like it would be really sweet but it just sort of hides behind the leads. the rate in december 2008 was 7.6 percent. i dropped it one time and a (expensive) screen cover was on and it cracked the screen.
