The PSU (and the PDP11/73 in a BA11) is working again.

After thorough cleaning of the PSU PCB (had to dismount the heatsink and
the 3 TO3's, loosen the TO220's) I'vew checked the semiconductors..ok so far. 
Fuse F2 was
blown.
Interestingly the electrolyte of that original Mallory cap seems to
have some oil based blackish contents, it was impossible to remove that
in a water/soap solution, even in a ultrasonic cleaner.
I've finally used "white spirit" (Terpentinersatz in german)to clean up
the things.
I've mounted new fans (230V~ Types from EBMPABST (230V~ here anyways))
and now the pdp is working again, at least with ODT, don't have that
RX02 from that machine here.

Regards,
Holm
