I've got one of these where the not so "Brilliant" power supply has crapped its pants and from what I have read they're none too reliable at the best of times.
I have discovered that from the factory, they either came with a Brilliant supply (SMPS) or a toroidal transformer.
In a quest to get this unit back up and running I have decided to fit a toroidal as it will be more reliable than the not so Brilliant supply.
Linn have helpfully added instructions on the screenprinting to show which parts should be fitted when the transformer is used, which tracks should be cut etc.
However, there are some parts which are supposed to be fitted but they don't have any type numbers - just the generic 'U507' (a regulator, which I suspect is likely to be an LM317), D514, C526, Z515 etc.
I did contact Linn to see if they could supply me with the relevant info, the specific part numbers and values etc and they said as the unit was made end of line some 12 years ago they have no information.
What would be really helpful is if someone who has one of these tuners could take the top off and determine the values/type numbers of various components, these being:
D514, D516 (probably just 1N4001)
C524, C525
C526
C527
R528
Z515
U507
