There is a metric shedload of room.
My TX802 supply died.
I replaced it with a 5V SMPS line lump and a simple linear supply for the 15
volt rails.
Much simpler than messing with that nasty looking switcher.
By the time it had died a fair area of the PSU PCB had blackened, so even if
I had identified the component(s) at fault, it might need a new PCB.
