A brute force line filter for the power line.  In older versions of the ARRL 
handbook a circuit was published for years which was simple to build in an 
evening.  I built and used them with early computers....which were massively 
sensitive to power line noise !  Worked very effectively.

If you don't have an old handbook I bet someone here does and can offer a 
scan of the page with the circuit.  It had two choke coils that you wind, 
and 5 or 6 common capacitors, as I recall it.
