Quick checks on the similar System 1 power supply

The System 1 supply is close to the System 80 design. Q1 must be insulated from the back plate by its mica pad. +5 V reading about 2.4 V points to a bad Q1. With no +5 V and Q1 removed, IC1 pin 7 should read 14 to 15 V; if not, IC1 is bad. If Q1 runs very hot with no +5 V, SCR101 is bad.
