Fusible resistors - are they better than Fuse in TV Power Supplies???

[Appreciate_It]

I saw the fusible resistors ( typically 1/2 watt. .1 ohm rating. Sony
#1-202-933-61 ) used in a lot of places in Sony chassis. Since they
are a lot more expensive than fuse ($2 vs 50cents) at the repair
level, I am wondering whether they can be replaced with fuses? If
yes, what type? (Fast blow/Slow blow), and what amperage?

Any experience/opinion on other manufacturer's chassis too?

NO.. NO.. NO..
Fusible resistors are NOT the same as a fuse.... and since they are NOT
the same part, your question about "are they better?" does NOT apply.
For safety and proper repair you must use exactly what the manufacturer
indicates.
