Hello again, Harry.

One other thing of note. The AC power cord on your supply is original, and very likely synthetic rubber and at its age, will not respond well to being coiled up too tightly, or to any sharp bends. The rubber will start to crack.

My suggestion would be to carefully uncoil it and have a close look for any cracks already present. Then take advantage of the two AC power cord storage hooks on the front of the transformer and coil covers.

Gently move the cord to the lower left, behind the vibrator and wind it loosely, clockwise around the two hooks. Normally, when not in use, the cord plug is pushed into the socket with the circle around it. This serves two purposes. It keeps the AC cord in place and the plug prongs activate a spring loaded cutout switch that isolates the AC input feed so it will not work. It is a sharp bend to get the plug into that socket so considering its age, just tuck the cord into itself so it is out of the way to reinstall the cover on the Supply.
