Good news... But I'll answer your questions first.
The fuses are located in a single unit with the 120, and the battery charger. The unit was high end it its day, and monitors the battery charge so it doesn't constantly push full charge to the battery. Anyway, it has three AC fuses (except I bought one of those dual breakers so I could put the A/C on its own breaker, and 6 DC fuses... Only 4 are actually in use. They are the small glass tube style.
Moving on, I had a small epiphany earlier today, and did a little additional testing and was able to locate the source of the short. It is NOT on the 'hot' DC wire as I originally thought. It is actually the powered coax cable going up to the antenna. I disconnected it and tested everything else successfully. I remembered towards the end of last year having problems with TV reception and noticed the coax (after 30+ years) was a bit worse for wear. This is great as replacing that is a rather short, and should be a fairly easy pull for a replacement cable. Should have it worked out before the weekend even with my busy schedule. I am being rushed out the door to a soccer game... So any questions, or follow up clarifications, let me know... I am relieved. Yes... You were very good picking up on a level of frustration. :)
