Just whilst we're on the subject of power supplies, I tend to replace C1,C2
and C9 as a matter of course after a few went pop a couple of years ago.

However, I've got an issue 3 machine with the old black linear power supply.
This is riveted shut, so I haven't done that one. Do they have those sort of
filter caps in, and is it worth drilling out the rivets to replace them?

Thanks,

Dave
