Thanks for the offer of help. I've managed to find a replacement PSU and I installed it last night and the machine lives! Now I just need to understand how to play the fruit machine.

Stormy

"There's a guy working down the chip shop who swears he's Elvis" has 49 letters (if I counted right!), "I've got a brand new conmbine harvester and I'll give you the key" has 50 (ignoring the deliberate spelling mistake). They're close to the longest but not quite worthy of a cig...
