The only other Mac to use the same 9500 PSU is the 8500. It will be marked
Apple P/N 614-0038, but if ordering a replacement the service source spares
P/N is 661-0923, not marked on PSU. All I see were built for Apple by Delta,
P/N SMP-220DB, or Minebea, P/N AF000111.

The worst one I ever saw had a dead decomposed mouse between 2 heatsinks.
Its stomach was gone and it had stripped all ID off components in that area
and etched a large recess into the PCB. Needless to say it wasn't repaired.
