This Astec PS seems to be a simpler affair: the cable connector is a keyed
Molex 90331 and the outputs are labeled P1 through P6.

P1 - purple = -12.0V 0.5A max
P2/P5 - black = COM
P3/P4 - red = +5.0V 9.5A max
P6 - yellow = +12.0V 1.2A max

In another life, when tested ATX power supplies to recycle, had a bridge
with a female 24 pin socket and wire shorting PS_ON to ground but I have
no idea if this power supply will start with its own power switch or if it
needs something else.

I'd appreciate any input from those who know more about this type of PSs.
Most supplies of this type need a load to regulate properly. Probably 1 A
on the 5 V output would be sufficient. Find a 5-10 W 5 Ohm resistor and
then just apply AC power and it should work.
