Re: [TenTec] Power Supply Damage Control

["Stuart Rohre" <rohre@arlut.utexas.edu>]

There are plastic covers for TO 3 cased power transistors to prevent this
problem of shorting the cases in the future.

I would bet on a 723 or similar 3 terminal power regulator internal to the
supply having failed.  Those in Astrons make good lightning surge fuses, and
maybe the supply in this case is a similar linear regulated type.
