Hi Acill -- how's your backlog?  I'm hoping to find somebody to repair this Phoenix Electronics CPS-500 Amiga 500/1200 power supply.  It's pretty heavy-duty and used to work but now I have to use my stock Commodore model power supply.  If you're too busy, can you recommend anyone else?  Thanks.

I'm a bit over extended currently since I have had to travel for work a lot this last few weeks. I will be out again all next week as well.

Gotcha.  Thanks.

If you can send it in I can look at it, but I've found its just better to get a good quality ATX supply and convert it using the power connector cable from the original supply. You get a better PSU for about the same cost as me repairing the older one.


Works for me, but I don't have any diagrams at this point and I'm crappy at soldering.  I'll look up some diagrams though, and try to find some help around here.  I was surprised that nobody's selling any ATX->Amiga adapters online anymore.

Thanks again.
