8-bit acorn hardware • checking power supplies before use

Hi,

I recovered 2 x BBC Micro B and one BBC Master from the attic space of a garage which haven't been used for years.

I've cleaned them and next step is to power each up.

I've attached pics of each power supply. (reduced for forum)

TBH I'm not sure exactly what I need to look for to see if any parts are bad and if any should be replaced.

I can do a little bit of soldering (so might be able to replace caps) but I don't have the equipment or knowledge to diagnose power supplies.

Are any of these obviously bad? What would happen if I plugged them in? Can I send them off to somebody to service?

thank you
