This kind of problem is almost always the electrolytic filter capacitors
in the power supply shorting. Sometimes they take the diodes with them.
the repair is easy. I often preemptively replace all the power supply
electrolytics in old devices.

Greetings Time Nuts!
I used to work for an electric utility and, around the Millennium,
acquired a used 468-DC, an FTM II, and the requisite GPS to GOES
antenna. The FTM was the first to no longer power on, and now the 468-DC
blows the main fuse whenever it is powered on. I am wondering if:
* it's worth someone fixing it
* how it compares with, for example, the Sure Electronics MB-CM12118
Mini USB & Bluetooth Interface GPS Demo Board (which you reviewed
favorably). I know the 468-DC is built much better, but does it keep
better time?
