I understand that the PSU on the SDX is a common problem. Have any of you had any luck rebuilding them or is it better to just buy a new one? I know it'd be easier to just drop in a new one but I'm hoping it's a simple enough design that replacing capacitors/anything else flaky would be much cheaper. Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The seller was testing it (since it'd been in hibernation for over a decade) and after 10 minutes of operation smelled something funny and immediately powered it down. He suspected a PSU fault as he'd had them before and had been warned about them in the past. He is by no means a tech so it may be something totally different. I'll let you know more once it arrives.
