Hello,
It has taken me ages to get back to this, but I think I have hit an
insurmountable problem.
I reassembled the PSU after the PWM started working again and tested it with
a dummy load and using two 100W light bulbs in series on the input side to
limit the current. However, it did not work. I

Thanks Tony. I removed the mains bridge rectifier and found it measured short
across two of its terminals, so I am ordering a replacement. I tested the PSU,
without the mains bridge rectifier and without the diodes on the output of the
startup transformer. I got 24VAC on the output of the , the

Before I confuse matters too much I should point out that I was not using the
Rainbow power switch unit but one from a DECmate. I had erroneously thought
there was a fault with the Rainbow one. I think the fan supply may be different
on the DECmate switch, so ignore the bit about the fan turning

Yes the chopper did blow up and I have since replaced it. So hopefully this is
the last part that needs to be replaced!

Pretty hard to tell from just the file names what app created them and looking

The file list says they were created in the 1986 time frame.
So what Dec systems were running around then that required rsx11 ?

Chances are good if it is 86, then there'd be a pro port... these were

Might want to look at the login.cmd file and see if any logical
variables/commands are defined that might give clues.
Also, the .rpt files might have a header that gives some info about the program.
