I don't know if anyone recalls this, but there was a bad run of rectifiers on most of their linear supplies in the late-90's. Astron shipped out replacement rectifiers free of charge. Replacement was easy, one machine screw and nut to secure the rectifier and four space connectors. From what I recall, there MAY have been an AC ripple problem, but most notable was that the power supply got VERY hot from the rectifier shorting out internally. In a worst case, I saw one spew smoke several feet into the air under pressure from around the potting compound.
