Default Self Resetting Circuit Breaker with 100 Ohm resistor

Hi all, the Rockola jukebox I'm restoring has a free play button that simulates a 10p coin being dropped into the machine. Someone's modified my machine decades ago to have a 2A fuse in the place of a self-resetting circuit breaker. The coin switches activate a corresponding solenoid to make the credit ratchet go a certain number of clicks. The power to these coin switches passes through the breaker first. I'm wanting to know the purpose of this breaker and whether I should stick with the fuse in its place or attempt to find a replacement?

Thanks!
