That Gecko may be repairable, byt just replacing the blown cap. If it
didn't blow the fuse, the
transistors, etc. are probably still OK.

There is a new business that just moved in a few doors down from me. I doubt they are on the same transformer and they do industrial mobile pressure washing and I can't imagine what they would be running that would draw that kind of current. They were working in their shop Thursday and Friday, the two days I was having trouble. They werent there yesterday and everything was fine.
