Well I powered the PDP-8f tonight and guess what? The
PS is toast.
Sorry to hear it...
I'm not much surprized either. Anyhow this one has
a hard short of the
kind when power is turned off the room light dim. Next step is to pull
it out of the case and inspect and meter it for where the short is.
oo... room lights dim? ouch...
Anyone with a schematic? This one is the rear mounted
style with the
cover that says, do not operate with cover removed for more than 15
minutes. Don't need the whole prints but only some things verified.
I have some print sets for the 8/e, 8/f, 8/m family... but they may
be pdp-8/e specific. I'll check for you...

I'm guessing Allison said:
I've got the three volume PDP-8e, PDP-8f, PDP-8m Maintenance manuals which
have circuit diagrams for the -8f power supplies. Yell and I'll see what I
can do about getting a copy (this will not be easy as the manuals are
"perfect" bound and look like they'll fall to pieces if I open them up far
enough to photocopy/scan).
