Thanks again for reply
HMMM , that doesnt sound too good then, i dont fancy walking 10 miles here LOL.
Not much i can check then before the PSU board is repaired and hope for the best, got any bright ideas then ?.

The 15,000uf off the board may have been bust , i cant find it so may have threw it already . It is a four pin type , BUT i do have the same value in two pin style with a higher voltage rating , not sure if i fully understand the 4 pin deal though ? The ones i have here are slightly physically larger so may be possible to fit to the board with some PCB drilling or firmly secure and insulate and run jump leads.
How do i fit a 2 pin Electrolytic to a 4 pin Electrolytic PCB application ?.
As for rectifiers i have some , will have to check values or go for four diodes .
