New DEC museum entry :D (not the breaker sub-thread)

 I would strongly recoemnd adding some mains filtering. You can buy mains
 filters from places like RS and Farnell (they are not cheap, though!).
 It's pretty obvious how to link one up..  
 Surely for the amount of times the machine will be running for any length of
 time a mains filter won't be THAT necessary? I'm not thinking of running the
 Pro for weeks at a time. 
Maybe not... I don;t know how much hash a Pro power supply will try to 
put onto the mains if run without a filter, and how much interference it 
will cause. 

I'd fit a filter, if only becuase I like to keep my machines as close to 
the original design as possible, subject ot them working properly (in 
other words I'll do mods to fix design bugs, or to make the machine more 
useful to me, but in a case like this I'd try to fit a filter).

...

  Has anyone ever tried to open up one of these
filter modules? Most of the
 ones I've seen seem to have the cases soldered closed, so they could be
 taken apart, but are the compoents potted inside?  
 This one's soldered shut so I'll probably take a saw to it just to see if it

Let us (or at least me) know what you find out, please...

...
  can be rebuilt. Looks like I've just been dumped
by my partner of 9 years so
 I would appear to have some spare time on my hands. 
I'm sorry to ehar the first part of that...
