Spectral DMS-10 Dual 24V Power Supply for DMC-10 Preamp

Hello, I found this DMS-10 in an old Volvo I was parting out a couple years back. I came across it again while cleaning out - and I'm looking to find it a home.
The front LCD doesn't turn on, but there is life! I tested the outputs with an oscilloscope and found various ~24v waveforms.
The unit is a little banged up, some scratches and dings on the aluminum case.
I'm new here and not much of an audio enthusiast myself, but I have seen how much a DMC-10 combo can go for... :Popworm:
Considering the condition and niche market I'd be willing to accept as much as someone is willing to pay for it, and at the end of the day I just want to see it go to use one way or another.
I was considering keeping it as a power supply to build a DIY analog synth sometime in the future...
But I've seen a thread here where someone was missing their DMC10 power supply and ended up using two separate 24v power supplies and made it work... but I figured someone may want the original thing 😉



Various readings from o-scope:
(Had it plugged into power inverter - not true sine, not sure if this affects the waveform, or what would be normal, or whether I actually squared up the wave on the scope to get an accurate V/AC reading, or which pins I should have been checking between so I tried all combinations :smash:
But at least it shows that something is going on in there :spin:)
