I was stuck on solid state on this one. Since they almost all run on
+- 130 V for the hoz stages the bulb will work for both power
supply & hoz problems.

For tube sets, I use a circuit breaker with clip leads soldered on. A hold value, close to the fuse rating.
I would never use a circuit breaker on one of the newer solid states. They depend on the fast-acting fuses to protect the semiconductors.
