Quoting Dave McGuire <mcguire at

I like to solder wires to interesting points, run them outside of
whatever I'm working and attach them to a something (paint stir stick)
so they don't short out. That way I can look at the signals without
risking a short, especially on high voltage stuff.

Thanks, Dave, for the offer (and to all others giving helpful advice in this
thread). I *did* find the schematics last night on vt100.net/manx, so I just
need to spend some time now looking them over, and seeing what I can do.
I do have some very basic tools, and a 'scope, and I guess my plan is to try to
look for some bad passives first, unpowered, then take whatever next steps seem
reasonable. These PSs are pretty tightly packed, in a 3-D kind of way, and I'm
not sure I'm up to poking around inside with it powered. I might touch
something I shouldn't with a probe, and make things worse! ;) We will see...
As things progress I'll give a report, but don't hold your breath for quick
news. I've got a lot to learn first.
Thanks.

cheekiness, does anyone have schematics and/or
Engineering Drawings
for this 11/
750. Maybe I could actually try to sort it out if I had some more
information,
at least until I electrocute myself! :o
I'm fairly certain that I have 11/750 prints here, but I will have to
find them. Let me know if you don't find them elsewhere quickly enough
and I'll start digging.
