The PSX is a very straightforward PSU with some expensive (and now irreplaceable - there are no direct replacements I'm aware of) custom-designed slit foil reservoir caps. These were probably made in conjunction with DNM who pioneered such caps.
Did the guy who fixed it say exactly what he had changed in the PSX? If he has replaced all of the s-f caps, then you should be good to go for another 15 years. Really on something of this age he should have replaced EVERY cap, while he had the board out. The PSX is not (as far as I can recall) identical to the internal one - it has more grunt. When using the PSX, part of the internal amp PSU supply powers the pre-amp stages (this is why the fuses have to come out and the switch no longer has any effect - the power amp goes to the PSX for power). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
