Pinched a wire and popped the fuse at F1. Can I solder a mini fuse holder with blade type fuse to it? No way I have the sight or skill to solder the same type back on

Jim, what kind of topper or machine is that out of? I don't recognize that PCB. Technically you could just solder on a jumper wire but I don't recommend that. Another pinched wire might cause irreparable damage. That's really a job for a hot air station. Wish I had one & the experience to use it. To answer your question, a mini fuse holder should work if you can get it to fit & stick.

It's from a large Elvis topper about 3 ft. Long and 18 inches tall with LEDs

I don't have any 3A SMD fuses, but if you want to order one from Mouser, Digikey, or one of the other electronic parts houses I'd be glad to replace it for you (shipping will cost more than the part). No charge, just shipping for the board back and forth.

it's small enough to just break off with a pair of dikes...but you risk the chance of destroying the traces leading to and from it.
If you're not confident in replacing that, I'd send it to Tilt...he's probably closer to you than I am up here in the Northeast.
I work on micro-soldering all the time but I have a really good cheap magnifying lamp from HarborFreight to see this little stuff.

It's this big topper
