I found out today that the power supply on my old Mac 512e is dead (I 
thought that the intermittent video might have been due to a bad
cold solder joint, but I was wrong). The local dealer (ComputerCraft
in Palo Alto) wants $339 to replace it, which really isn't worth it.
I have two questions:

	1) Is there anywhere I can take/send the machine that will do
the work for substantially less money?

	2) Can I buy a replacement power supply and install it myself?
If so, from where and for how much $$$? (I'm in a physics lab, so I 
have access to a fair array of tools, scopes, etc.)

Please E-mail replies unless you think everyone will be interested.
