| 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!

Thanks for posting this. I've been searching E-Bay and other options for a realiable PSU for the A1200. This one looks great and has the correct PSU connector to the A1200 as well. The one I previously bought off of E-Bay had a overly large "V" on the top and couldn't be used with my computer. I'd also be happy to support a fellow Amigan and fellow vet!

Is this just for small "wedge" Amigas, or destop ones too? I'm looking for an A4000 replacement PSU. |

I am using a Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520watt psu with my A4000T using an ATX PSU to AT mainboard cable I got from Amikit.
The good thing about the PSU is that I think its +5v is the most stable compared tg many other psus which makes it very suitable for Amigas. Last edited by Ancalimon on 04-Dec-2014 at 06:23 AM. Last edited by Ancalimon on 04-Dec-2014 at 06:21 AM.

Hi Dan, yes these are for the wedge Amiga. Saying that Ray is an excellent electrical engineer and it might be worth asking if he can rebuild a modern psu inside the old A4K PSU case if you have a defective one. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

I believe the desktop A4000 is harder to replace as it has some odd shape and the power button is connected to the PSU mechanically. That said, if it could be retrofitted with a modern off-the-shelf PSU, this may be a cheaper option. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

I have seen that PSU on sale before but not sure if you can still get it. Do you have a link to a site in which to purchase? _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

| @edponpon the V on the plug is for commodore 128 glad it didn't fit that 9v ac might have done some damage
