A Fusetron is just the brand name or trade name of the Bussman fuse company. 
You can use any fuse of the same amp and voltage rating or higher voltage 
rating.  Slow blow or regular blowing speed will be determined by the 
circuit you put them in.
I don't have a refferance handy, but if the 3AG size will fit then use it if 
the voltage and current are equal.  Also check to see if it is slow blow or 
not.
If in doubt, just install the fast blow and see what hapens.
At the worse it will only cost you one fuse.
