Oh yes. That sounds like a mains filter unit.
Inside there are several
capacitors and inductors. If you're very lucky there'll be a schematic

I'm not lucky :) All there is is a part number and legends telling me which
is the line side and which is the load side.
Hang on... Isn't the mains input IEC plug part of the filter unit? In
other words all wires are on the load side? If not (that is, if there are
wires for the input side that go to a separate IEC plug), you could
temporarily disocnnect it, and replace it with a couple of bits of wire.
