You will probably need to replace a lot of the electrolytic caps on the circuit board...

Good point.  I have found that checking all the electrolytic caps on the PC
Boards is a good idea.  Many have failed over the years and the unit will
not work properly, including oscillations on the output.  Usually they have
little or no capacitance.  I have done this step to 4 units over the years
and have found a lot of bad electrolytic caps in that time.

Hi Mark:

I hadn't thought of that, but have an ESR/Cap meter so will check it, Thanks.
