Re: Fuse blowing
The original cloth covered wire only had a form of resin to hold the cloth insulation. The more modern cloth covered reproduction wire has wire that uses modern insulation prior to the braided cloth installation. There can also be problems with the spade connectors that attach to the switch plate terminals. Some don't fit together well and can come loose. If the modern type reproduction wiring is well made and the use of bitumin covered loom is generous enough then problems with the electrical system are less common. If the wiring is very old and brittle then it's just a matter of time before a problem will occur.
Bad ground paths can also generate excess heat so take good care of all ground connections.
