   Schrack model EPO71119-E, input 200-20V 4.0A output 329W.

   Pertti, That doesn't make much sense.   
      
   By power cord you mean the connector that connects the PSU to the planar   
   I assume? If the PSU doesn't power on, there can't be any other voltages   
   than the pin 1 pull up voltage of ~5 V.   
      
   Are you sure you had the connector oriented correctly? It seems to me   
   that you were shorting out pins 20-21 (nothing when OFF, +5 V when ON)   
   and measuring pins 1-2 (PS-ON, which is floating at ~5 V when OFF, and   
   must be pulled down to turn the rest of the PSU ON).   
      
   Make sure you are working with the correct pins and try the procedure again.   
      
   I don't think I ever encountered a Schrack PSU in a Model 95. No clue   
   about it's internal construction. Is it really a single range 200-220 V   
   unit?
