refurbished or new power supplies

[SACC-guy]

Many Amigas need new or refurbished power supplies.
Very few amigians (I'm one) can rebuild these items or find new old stock.

In the mac world, you can buy a exact (refurbished) power supply and then send in your old one for a discount. In the pc world ...

The only other option I know of is to buy an AmigaKit atx power adaptor and atx power supply.
But these are not exact fits... and sometimes need other work. (i.e. tic clock issues, size, connectors)
In my case, I will need an AT type power supply. Getting very hard to find!

Does anyone know if this service is available?

I know this is of no help to you at all,but I used to install atx psu's inside A4000 cases but its load of work and i doubt anyone would pay the price of labor, it was a pretty nice solution since it looked almost factory. The same can be done with 3000T,and mini ITX fits the 3000. tick jumpers can be set to vsync on big box models so tick isnt a problem. Some need -5v however and its getting harder to find psu's that supply this voltage since it was written out of the atx and mini/micro atx standard. Athena makes a 300W AT psu but they are of dubious quality.

Thx for the info and...

How much (IYO) is the price of labor? Why would it be too much?

I know when I bought a used mac for use with morphos, the first week I bought it, the power died. Since it (the mac ) was cheap, I paid for the refurbished power supply.

With the amount of money I've spent on my amiga habit, I would pay those amounts, easy!

@AmigaKit
 please consider this idea for a new service!

I'm not aware of anyone who advertises refurbished Amiga power supplies. It's not rocket science and I expect Amiga repair shops could fix power supplies also. I agree that the original type power supply has advantages.



NewEgg has an AT power supply at a reasonable price.
