WTB: Amiga Goliath Power Supply

[Gavilan]

Im desperate seeking one of those Power Goliath PSU for some of my Amigas

If you have one for sale, please contact me.
I can pay with PayPal, and you have to (and want to) send to Argentina


OF course i pay any charges of shipping & handling

I know a lot of you would say "convert a PC PSU" but i dont have the skills & dont know anybody who could do that for me

Thanks in advance

@Adonay: thanks a lot for the link

OH My.... 53 pounds?

Anybody has a cheaper one?? Pleaseeeee

 :-D

I can rebuild a PC PSU for you for half the price :-)

Why don't you get an old PC PSU? Even 150W should be ample and an adapter is made in 15 minutes. You can salvage the connector/cable from any old Amiga PSU.

@doctorq: my good old friend...
That sounds very cool!!

How much you think would be shipping to Argentina???
 :-D

[doctorq]

As last time, shipping is expensive :-( Most likely the same as the PSU will cost you I'm afraid.

[Gavilan]

What about building me an adaptor to be able to use any normal PC PSU?

I can pay you for that of course, and shipping should be cheaper, right?

[doctorq]

I haven't got the parts for building an adapter, sorry. Maybe some of the other members have.

Heres the adapter cable:

You should note that this is an adapter for an AT PSU (very old style). Using a modern PSU requires yet another adapter or one with an ATX connector.

 Hello Gav.

 I can make one adapter for you. All I need to know is the type of your PSU (AT or ATX). The shipping costs from Brazil to Argentina is US$15.6, plus 4 for Paypal fee. The good is for free, of course.

 ATX2 don't work, it need a special circuit in order to work (like a "thick" signal, but in that case who wants the signal is the PSU).

 But the schematics is pretty damm simple.

 Have a look:



Just in case, here is the link to the whole page:

Its super simple to convert an ATX psu for use in an Amiga.  Just cut the green wire and one of the black wires and short them, preferably with a toggle switch between them (This will be your on/off for the computer).  Then cut the power plug from the Amiga PSU (the one that plugs into the Mobo), leaving several inches of wire to work with. Remove the corresponding connector from the ATX PSU and discard.  Now simply connect your Amiga connector to the wires of the ATX PSU making sure the voltages go to the right wires on the Amiga power plug.  There's just a few wires you'll need.  +12v, -12v, +5v and Ground..  Thats it. Just cap and tie the remaining wires out of the PSU and install it in the Amiga.  Might want to check your output voltages first with a meter and make sure +5v is going to +5v, and +12v is going to +12v, etc..
