I replaced the #zener diode with a new one.
The 12V linear regulator wasn't attached to the heat sink, and is known to fail because of that. So, I replaced it with a new one and attached it.
Also, I replaced the #RIFA #capacitor with a modern alternative and removed the power switch.
Sadly it is not repairable and replacements are very expensive, so I'll have to improvise. Maybe I'll add an external one.

I also got a #commodore 1901 #monitor. The boards look very nice, only needing a bit of cleaning. Except one spot on the edge - there a #zener diode had completely rusted legs. Good that the #schematics are available and I could find the value.
Also, the power switch is broken, it doesn't latch on.
