Thanks for your replies, I’ll start with the PSU, Thank you

Hi all, managed to acquire one these on eBay , this is a first for me, it fired up with the usual chime and although the HDisk is fried It works. plastics are very brittle but I think I have some spares. Im posting because these were work horses, often running all day and sometimes night...

Sure are, different manufacturers , but they do the same job. what is more worrying is that lately the failure rate on these sound chips is high. unfortunately nobody Has come up with or suggested a reason for this, or if there are modern chips that could do the same job
