[sdiy] Advice?: Powering up a vintage keyboard after several years

[Rick Jansen]

Powered up my Nord Modular G2X for the first time in a few years: saw the lights flash a 
few seconds and thought "good". Then lights went off and thought "hm". The fuse was blown. 
New fuse, which also blew. Disconnected PSU from other boards. Still, the fuse blew, so 
it's the PSU that was faulty.

Recapped the PSU, just in case: still no, and had to buy a new box of fuses.

Have not been able to find the fault, and ordered a new PSU in the end. (Not cheap, but at 
least it was still available, after 10+ years!)

The NM editor still works with Mac OS Sierra! Very happy with that, as I hope to have a 
bit more time on my hands for stuff like this in the near future.
