Apple //c power supply

Arrrggghhh... Okay, so, for some time my Apple ][ collection has included a //c which I've never booted because I didn't have the brick for it. I've seen them for sale all over, but always for $25 to $40 (plus shipping). Since that's like five times what I paid for the CPU, I've been pretty reluctant to go for it. At the VCF swap meet, I picked up a //c with brick for $15, and the vendor even threw in a non-working //c for parts (cool). I brought it all home, fired up the two good //c's, and then turned to the non working one, which promptly (auugh!) ate the brick. I'd like to get in there and see if I can fix it, or just rebuild it (but I'd still like to at least rebuild it inside the brick case). Does anyone know if there is a way to get these things open without ruining them? I've pushed and poked and prodded with no luck. Thanks a lot! Paul Kearns paulk(a)microsoft.com
