In 2000, I bought an ex broadcast PR99MK3 for £500 - a bargain, I thought.

It worked fine the first time powered up, but the second time the fuse blew - yes it was
the bridge. I was able to replace it with the pcb in situ - I used a 200V version.
I would use a 105 degree type for the capacitor though rather than the 85 degree shown.
