Title: Need a replacement Amiga PSU???
Post by: a1200 on December 03, 2014, 07:55:24 AM

I received my new Amiga PSU from Ray Carlsen yesterday (thanks RobertB for showing me the way). I ordered it just a week ago. Ray, is a gentleman and is passionate about electronics.

The PSU is of a high quality look and feel and there are no heat or audible indications that it is even breaking into a sweat powering my 030 A1200.

Ray's PSU is a dual 110/240v supply. He can wire a second output for an A590 type expansion if required. To save me wiring my own UK plug onto the mains cable, or using an adaptor, Ray instead installed an IEC "kettle plug" socket on the PSU so I can simply use a Peee Ceee mains lead.

Very, very impressed. And whilst not a goliath in terms of output, it runs an upgraded Amiga with ease without the need for a noisy fan. If you need a replacement Amiga or C64/C128 PSU, look no further!

I recently ordered one also, built and shipped the same day.
Great guy to deal with.

I feel like a dumb American every time someone refers to it as "mains power" or a "mains cable". I have to google to figure out what the heck they're talking about. Thankfully Wikipedia tells me I'm not wrong, it is called something different in the US. ;) And those wacky Canadians call it something even different! ;)
