How do I tell the amps and % on a fuse I blew from my stereo?

Question

K its a little glass fuse, approx 20mm long and 5mm dia.

it has a brown stripe, black stripe, red stripe and a slightly bigger blue stripe.

on the top it says T1AL 250V and the other end has random symbols like a peace sign, an A in a circle and a triangle with DVE inside it...

I'm going to get a replacement today but would like to know what i'm looking for as most of the fuses I've looked at don't have stripes, just specifications.

I did electronics as a subject at school so i know the stripes mean something just cant remember what!

Answer 1

Stripes or bands are on resistors and some capicators.  The 1a should mean 1amp at 250 volts.

Answer 2

You should just call the store you're going to visit or bring in the fuse. These people deal with these kinds of things every day.
