Interesting, I was never aware that the 11/03 and 23

Speaking to my local DEC salvage dealer, he told me he used to get
whole
11/780s just for the power supplies in the front end
11/03s.
However,
judging from the number of 23plus systems that were
sold (and have
recently
hit, if not flooded, the used market)I'd say it
should be fairly easy
to
find a cheap H7861 supply.
Probably, and as Allison pointed out, if there's a lot of damage a
replacement may, for once, be better than attempting a repair. BTW, if
you've not already found it, my web page (actually it's a flat-ASCII
text file) describing the different QBus boxes and backplanes and such
may be of interest to you:
