The diodes CR1 and CR2 are compression-fitted style rectifier diodes 
that are pressed into a rectangle stock of aluminum, and the aluminum 
is then secured to the chassis via two screws.  The diodes have one 
solder lug terminal.  

The service manual only lists the Motorola part #; no specs or 
industry-standard part # is given. Same on the caps. Only spec given 
is 27,000 uf @ 20wvdc.  

I did a quick search of Mouser and DigiKey, and was unable to find 
any chassis-mount style caps. Anyone find something suitable that can 
be re-secured to the ps's chassis via new rivets or screws?  I know I 
can just solder in any cap that meets electrical specs, but I would 
like the caps to be secure and not have the ps become a fire hazard 
waiting to happen!

The power supply was still sitting in my truck last night. When I get 
a break today I will take it apart further and see if I can find a 
part # stamped on the diodes and caps that might indicate what the 
real part # is. While I was at the repeater site yesterday I thought 
I saw a 1Nxxxx stamped on the diodes.  

I would have thought that there would have been someone here on the 
list that has repaired one of these supplies before, so that is why I 
asked.
