Thanks all - I have just cleaned it up and the board seems fine underneath.
Another interesting one as it must of been quite a hot PSU is that as I was recapping this afternoon under some the caps it was black where the bottom of the caps had left a mark.
As you guys have mentioned it has probably just been left on for long periods - this is prior to me getting my hands on it. If I remember back to the days I had my first STFM I used to play it almost 24/7.

I have finally got round to sorting out this PSU.
Its taken 4 months :oops: to finish it off. The PSU has been cleaned up, recapped, refilmed and a new switch fitted.
As you can see in particular the second resistor on the left is pretty burnt

Below is a pic of the finished PSU (Before pic is the first post in this thread)

And finally I have taken a leaf out of Sandord's book
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 49&#p12833 and labelling up the PSU so if someone opens the STE at least they know what's been done to it.

:) - Since I have had the label printer its become a bit of an addiction. I start seeing places all over the place where I can put a label.

Careful it really is addictive. Found myself labelling tubs of food to go in the freezer the other day.
