Check out local electronic stores, I was able to find some items that Radio Shack didn't have.

If you call Fluke, they should be able to tell you who would carry fuses locally that you need. Most electronic stores will carry what you need as well. The average price for DMM fuses run about $3-$15 depending on what model you have. What model is your meter?

Was that for the correct ceramic slow-blow fuse, or a regular glass fuse?

I don't have a source per say, because you did not post what type and number. I just want you to know I feel your pain. I ended up throwing one device away because the replacement was worth more then buying new equipment.

Good source for electrical stuff, I have used them before and they have a nice big printed catalog.

A fuse is a fuse. Just go to Radio Shack or a local electronics parts store.
