Hey Ben, check this out:

I searched for “commodore MPS-802 circuit diagram”.  😊

Yes, fuse is good. First thing I checked when it was totally dead.

And yes, on closer inspection, that that might be glue.

I'm not an expert, but I can trace some power wires and connectors and check 
for continuity here and there.

Does anyone know what the voltage should be out of the transformer?

Ben

Hey guys,

I pulled a Commodore MPS 802 printer out  of storage. I figured it would be a 
nice upgrade from my MPS 801. Unfortunately, it did not power on. On closer 
inspection it appears that these two capacitors (attached photos) are done.

Actually, I don't think those are bad.  Most large caps have some glue on them 
to physically hold them to the PCB.  From the pics, it appears that is jsut glue

I believe the 802 has a fuse.  Is it known good?
Jim
