I've been trying to get my hands on a 5154 for years, so was very pleased to find one this weekend, even more so when it booted up and worked, but within 15mins or so out came the magic smoke.
After some research on youtube, minuszerodegress, vogons, and here, I'm suspecting the "WIMA MP 3", which is the likely culprit. I've replaced RIFAs before my TRS80 Model 3 and it appears to be a similar line filter.
Is there anything else I should consider replacing while I'm in there (assuming the WIMA is the culprit)? Deoxit some pots?
Or just replace what's broken and move on with life?
