HP 5061-3476: Which boards go where

Further review: Looking at photo IMG_6081.jpg it shows the layouts of 
the boards. Specifically A1 is the pre-regulator board pn 5061-3457 
which is the one with the caps and A2 is Inverter board PN 5061-3454.

I think if your PS doesn't work one problem is these boards are 
backwards. Don't know if that will blow up your supply but interesting 
to note...

Hm.... From what I can see it looks like the 120 goes into a transformer 
on the bulkhead and is stepped down to 24 volts DC which then feeds 
"stuff". I'll start there and see if I get 24dc at the first stage, 
which should then be filtered by the caps and sent on to the various 
regulators.
