The PSU is the most important part of the machine. It feeds the ST with +5 and +12v DC at up to around 2 amps which is more than enough to power the basic hardware an ST contains. In this video I replace the capacitors and upgrade the bridge rectifier to one that can supply more current which should make it last another 30 years.
Once the PSU has been repaired I can begin upgrading the RAM, figuring out how the crazy TOS upgrade actually works and building an ACSI to SD adaptor so my ST can have a hard disk – something I’ve wanted ever since I owned the machine.
