Default Re: Gould 4072 bad PSU

Hello Karl,
It is no problem, the photos are often mis-leading!
The capacitors will be changed anyway because several others exhibit signs of heat degradation and I want this supply to operate correctly for a long time. One other electrolytic (in the picture of post 1) had leaked electrolyte and corroded one of the connection wires completely away.
Schaffner mains filters do seem to have RIFA capacitors in them and when they break they are not good at all.
