Personally, I think this PCPC PSU came from Sparkle
For: Greg, should you choose to reply... :)
I've gutted my old PSU. The only obvious silk-screening I see are an
oval with SPI inside the oval. And, the number(s) 280-000-22 and
R-10... on the back of the PSU's m/b.
Yes, the metal case does show evidence of rust. The cooling fan is dirty

Last night I suffered an odd psu failure. I do so hate when old stuff
dies; even though I expect it.
The pc would turn on, spin up the HD, complete POST, and continue (I
assume). But I had no mouse, kbd, or video. Suspected severe psu sag or
some huge m/b failure (asus cubx)! Swapped the psu
Replace it with another of the same brand.

You received fair use out of it. :)
All your gear should fair as well; Well, here's hoping, anyway.

Seasonic is consistently rated as near best in the world.

I did. I used my spare t51atx-dx 510w by pcpc.. :)
The old pc perked right up!

Al,
Yes, I am now enjoying all the research and parts buys of years back.
Now, when I see a failure, it is always Viking Funeral! LOL!
BTW, I have an old (2006) Pillips DVP3050/V37 VCR/DVD/CD player (analog
tuner), if needed for your tape-2-dvd project.
Best,
Duncan

Seasonic may be near-best now; but in 1998, I doubt that any of us knew
who Seasonic was (at retail). Greg indicates that Seasonic did make some
of the pcpc units. Fine. Perhaps my autopsy of this Turbo-Cool 300 ATX
will uncover just who really made it!

Understood, but the PSU's of 1998 wasted a serious amount of power as
heat ( ok, the PC's back then didn't need as much power I admit).
Nowadays, you'll find PSU's that are above 85 % efficiency at 20, 50 and
100% loads. Only losing 15% electricity as waste heat may seem severe to
some but
Stan,
Watch out! Your age is peeking out... :)
Understand the efficiency business. PSU's have been a focus of mine for
many, many years. The T51 psu I put back in is ~88% efficient.
Yes, the old pony was NOT the most efficient psu, but it did put up with
an awful lot of user abuse
