[bars] When is a fuse not a fuse, redux?

[TimC]

Almost a year and a half ago my TS-2000 developed a problem with 
intermittent shutdown that eventually graduated to brick status.  After 
MUCH troubleshooting the root cause was a power line fuse that had 
transformed into a 1.2k resistor.  I thought at the time that this was 
so weird it had to be a one-off.

Well... now it's a two-off.  My IC-756 did the exact same thing this 
morning after some heavy FT8 use and sure enough, another fuse->resistor 
transformation.  Just to be clear, they don't show as open, nor short.  
They read ~1k ohm.

Is this a known/common occurrence or do I live in some weird hole in the 
universe where these things happen?

73,
