I have a critical ( late 80's microprocessor controlled ) piece of test gear
no longer supported. The power supply is dead and after sawing through it's
exoskeleton I was meet with a large epoxy block the size of the original
box. I don't intend to fix said power supply but rather to figure out what
voltages it provided and use a modern switcher. I know I need +12 and +5 as
there is a generic floppy drive and the logic / processor uses +5. Any ideas
how to strip the epoxy other than digging through it with implements of mass
destruction ? Any and all help is appreciated.
Best regards, Steven
