Hi Max,

Personally i'd just add decoupling caps and replace ALL the CMOS in
the unit with new TI stuff. All the old CMOS in the unit will fail -
i'm actually surprised it has lasted this long. CMOS is pretty cheap
though if you are using good quality Mil-Max machined sockets the cost
increases by a rather a large amount :) Also, if you replace all of
the parts in the PSU with new ones you can basically avoid the root
cause of all these issues. I'd also check all of the voltages with a
very high precision multimeter if possible, just to get it spot on.

In any case, you will get a CS80 that will be inherently more reliable
or at least a lot closer to how it was out of the factory.
