would a 3amp fuse work? the only add-a-circuits i can find around here are for 3,5,7 amps. I havent found any stand alone 2amp fuses either? dont want to fry the unit.

I would have to say no for a number of reasons including safety of your equipement.
If you were talking about something that is native 12v then you could probably get away with the extra Amp because 12v systems are relatively robust. The 60CSx is designed to work with 2 AAA batteries for about 3v and only miliamps of current. There is a step down transformer built into the unit to reduce the voltage from 12v to 3v but I don't have the specs on how much current the ciruit will take.
On the other hand current is "by demand" in other words a circuit only draws as much current as it requires, the battery is not pushing current. So will it work with a 3 amp fuse - yes but your protection level goes way down.
There are a bunch of 2 am fuses on-line
2 amp ATO/ATC fuse - Google Search
If you can't find one locally I would recommend ordering one.
