coupla questions as an aside on this subject:
1) Which PS is more available on commodity market?
2) Assuming H7681, do you know how to wire a chassis that expects H768 to
work with H7681? Or vice versa?
3) How can we make what we have on hand work for a long time?
Bonus 4) Is there a commodity setup available to replace this analog kit
entirely with new stuff? (probably a new thread)

If someone has one for sale (this one marked
H7861), please let me
know.
Someone on eBay is selling one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150947900783
They are asking $125, which is not wholly ridiculous, and will probably
take
slightly less. I've bought several from this seller, and they are in good
shape.
Also, at a pinch, I'm pretty sure (as in, I have looked at both closely,
and
verified that they have the same interfaces and physical dimensions, etc,
so I
think this will work, but I have yet to actually try it) an H786 would also
work in that system. The only difference I know of is that the H7861 puts
out
a few more amps of +5V. No reasonably priced H786's on eBay at the moment,
though.
It looks serviceable and is likely repairable by
an expert so that
could be an option, too.
I'd interested in buying the dead one from you (which should help offset
the
cost if you go for the eBay one) - please contact me off line if
interested.
