> Thanks, I will try the caps. Not going for purist, I gutted a dead sparcstation 1 to put in a 3/80. I'm starting to have a pile of dead sparcstation 1/+/etc power supplies, and I'd rather fix them than throw them.

For machines without power supply, a solution might be to power them
with an ATX power supply and an adapter.
I designed one to use with a 3/80 motherboard from the ATX
specifications and SS2 service manual (for the pinouts). However it
didn't help said 3/80 (still under very slow investigation), so I
suggest a thorough triple-check before trying. It can be found here:
<https://github.com/rdolbeau/SS1_ATX> I couldn't find a matching 2x6
connector for the Sun side, so it's designed for a 2x7 and two pins
are hanging out on the side...

Cordially,
