They have been soldered. Not my recommendation for a permanent fix, but it'll get you going. You could join in a discussion on the electrical properties of the solder on the fuse and whether it increases or decreases the amperage, or whether it's the width or the length of the fuse that drive the amp limit. Or just solder yours as a tempo fix while you're sourcing some new ones.
