Me too.  Me too!   I have an original mac upgraded to a plus with 2M.  It
still has the original 128K power supply.  I opened it up and saw no damage
to the components save that the width coil had no effect and it looked like it
had a nice crack in it.

Please, tell me the fix, I don't want to shell out the $175 ($150 for the new
supply, $25 for labor) to get the local store to replace the board (*I* can
do that!).
