Also, #54 is a 20A fuse, and that's a 15A circuit breaker. Downgrading the protection device won't hurt anything, but it may now trip for other reasons. Would this 20A one from Amazon work? http://www.amazon.com/Bussmann-BP-CB.../dp/B009WQPBZC
I know they have some circuit breakers for car stereos, that trip after their amo rating is exceeded
I wonder if you could plug something into this fuse socket that just a circuit breaker
So when you drop the coin, the swich blows, and you just swich it back on

I know about the amp rating but the only thing I have in there is an iPhone charger.i doubt that takes 15A let alone 20A
