I needed a PSU for bench testing. I pulled out a candidate from my collection but decided to check inside before powering it on.
Mapping out the casualties for repairs and checking my parts bin for replacement.
Glad you checked it ! Yeah that tan color on the caps is a bad sign 😀

Came in for the dead mice and/or live spiders, but I suppose dying caps are pretty scary too.

Worst I've found in a PSU.
I hope I made your Monday better.
Is that a dead FROG in your power supply??
Dead and mummified. But not my own PSU, just a PSU at work which required maintenance for some reason 😁
Frog-ankh-amon?
