How do you replace the wire on an old fashioned fuse?

You do not replace the wire - you replace the fuse as a whole unit. Never try to "get by" with anything but the correct fuse - it is asking for a fire if you don't. If you have the old style which have screw on caps, you remove the caps and replace the fuse with the exact fuse material that is identical to the one that burned. Reinstall the caps tight and re-insert the fuse. These types of fuses are becoming obsolete and can be hard to find the fuse material for them. You can replace the fuse with a newer fuse rated for the same amperage as the old one. Note, however, that this type of fuse is higher amperage - 30 amps or above. The type of fuse described at the beginning of this answer - the old "screw in" type - is not fixable - it must be replaced outright


What precautions should be taken when connecting an electrolytic capacitor in circuit?

Most electrolytic caps are polarized, so they will only go in a DC circuit one way - if you reverse them, they will explode (wear goggles!).


How do you make a non-polarized electrolytic capacitor?

Take two electrolytic capacitors of the same voltage and capacity, connect the positive leads together and connect the negative leads to the circuit. Just keep in mind that this will reduce the cap. value by half (2, 1000uF caps = 500uF) Also the voltage of the circuit should not exceed the voltage of one of the caps.
