    Could you specify what you mean by "a little sodering"?  Are there
connecting wires that I will have to guess where ther go or is this just
a straight connecting of one wire to another?  I've no experience with
replacing plugs so any examples or information you can supply would be
greately appreciated.  Please respond soon as I suspect I'll have to
be replacing the PS soon.  At present the machine takes two flips of the
"ON" switch to get it going.  :-(
