I know this is going to sound sacreligious, but can
any 1990s-era power

working power supplies and figured I could dummy up one or both of them as
testing/workhorse machines.
Electrically, sure. Mechanically, though, I don't think a modern PSU
will fit so well, and you have no place to mount the 110V power switch
that's at the end of the extension lead.
For open-topped bench work, it'll work just fine if you find a way to
address the mounting issues.
