that's what I hope for, well not, I mean it could be worse. I did not do
the  flashlight test yet, but I will try that the upcoming weekend. It
could be the caps in the SPSU or something like that, considering the
age. 

One thing that I observed, with my Voyager as well as with the SS5 etc.
is that the plastic had become very brittle. In my SS5 the SCSI
backplane just crumbled away. Opening the lower part of the Voyager
killed some of the screw holes in the plastic.
