Mark, I'm a MIDI guy too.  Take a picture of the PSU and post it.  I have a feeling the capacitor(s) will have to be replaced.  The socketed chips on the main board may have come loose and if you re-seat them, that usually fixes the problem.  Let's see if these first steps take care of the problems.
