125v e3A fuse needed

250V rating will be fine. You'd be best off mentioning the make and model of you VCR.

To answer your question these vendors will have a vast array of fuses:

It is unusual for a fuse to blow just for the heck of it. If it is a typical glass tube fuse, is the element broken or has it plated the inside of the glass?

If a second fuse blows right away, there are other issues in your VCR.

depends on its size & type, and which country you're in.

Since you dont know the cause of the blown fuse, and it's on a obsolete VCR, just take a common 3AG type of fuse, (of proper current rating), and put it into one of them cheap automotive fuse holders and put a small alligator clip on each end. Then just clip across the current fuse holder and plug in your VCR. If this fuse blows you have other problems and need to decide if this VCR is worth fixing.If it dont blow and the VCR works, either locatethe correct fuse, or just solder one of them automotive fuse holders across the one in the VCR.

Any fuse of the proper current and voltage will work. They just made those special oddball ones to make more money...
