Title: WTB: Switching Power Supplies
Post by: nilfisk on January 03, 2014, 02:29:52 PM: Hi Guys,

I am after a few (2-4) switching power supplies; the standard type with +5/-5/+12V, 120 Watt or more. Maybe some of you have leftovers from gutted or re-converted cabs; i've used up my spares while replacing the crappy linear PS from my Quadro, and would like to avoid having to buy brand new ones at EUR 30.-+ a piece (and using old ATX ps somehow doesn't feel the same).

Scratches and battle marks are not a problem, as long as they're working ;)

Cheers,
Martin

However, at EUR 99.- plus 20.- shipping, I am unfortunately quite close to buying some new switchers in Vienna (around 35.-/piece, so just EUR 20.- difference in total). I've sent them an email with a price suggestion, let's see how this turns out. Of course, I'd be more than happy to hand over the lever to Bruno ;)

Sorry, but I guess I'll keep looking for an alternative. Thanks for the hints though!

THESE ARE TOTAL TRASH
