LC TDK PSU issues

not sure what "massa" is. that would sort of label what it is. But from a quick eyeball, its a +12V regulator.

Now I am thinking it something else, it has +12V, a GND, but it also has +5v going into it. That is very strange for a regulator. 

I dont have a TDK supply handy to figure it out so thats about as far as I can go. 

 
Yes is strange... the circiut already have 2 rectifier diodes (on the heatsink) this psu need three diodes? Or is a thyristor?

 
Thanks for the link, but I think the best solution is to see another tdk 699-0153.... 
Well, if you can get a replacement PSU of the same type for little money, go ahead! If not, it's worth trying to fix the existing one as I did with my old Astec PSU (still working after been fixed). BTW, a quick ebay search reveals a used TDK 699-0153 for 79,95 € + shipping from Germany to Italy. I bet the fix is cheaper...

Another attractive option is to attach a modern PSU with compatible voltages and wattage...

 
The more a stare at it, the more it looks like a dual diode. maybe a clamping network. 
I agree. That PS is similar to the Sony PS in my HD20 SC I recently worked on.

Here's an image of the corresponding components in the Sony PS. Also apparently unmarked.

Is it correct that this TDK PSU is more than 20 years old? If so, getting another old unit doesn't guarantee it won't fail, too...

 
The others two diodes is c82m and is marked on pcb as CR51 CR52, the lost component is IC55 (CR is used for the diodes on this pcb)
