Some PSU pics here: http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/B_Series/610_PSU_1.jpg http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/B_Series/610_PSU_2.jpg http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/B_Series/610_PSU_3.jpg The PSU appears to be in a pressed aluminium cage attached to the upper case with 5cm long brass stand-off's. Is this what you expected? WRT to the mains filter, I assume you mean the metal cyclinder bolted to the back plane. I'd assumed it was just an unusual filter capactitor. I guess I should have noticed it was on the power line. Does is fail catastrophically?
