Thanks again for your advice and for your good luck wishes because it worked!
i went to the local Radio Shack and they sold me some 1 Amp ..240 Volt T fuses
4 fuses for $3
i replaced both fuses with the 1A Fuses
the SC2 works and with full sound!
here is a photo quickly taken just now with my Cell Phone:
and here is a game i just played against the PC Engine Pooky 2.7 running under Arena
the SC2 on level 5 loses again(of course)
