Try this guy (the email address is an old one, so I'm not certain it is
still working):

WRT BBC PSUs - the most common fault on those is capacitor C9.  If you
can find someone able and prepared to replace it for you, this fixes 70%
of dead BBC PSUs.  Another common problem is that the mains cable breaks
at the strain relief grommet at the back of the PSU, usually due to
people winding the cable around the machine to store it.

Don't work on PSUs if you have no prior experience - they can have a
very nasty bite even if left unplugged for a long time.
