I have been chatting with Ray to get a new C128 PSU to replace my battered original power supply. His website is pretty much my go to resource for fault finding on Commodore machines. He makes them with the option to also power your 1541-II disk drives as well and I’m looking forward to getting this in the next month or so. It would be good to reduce the number of power bricks when I’m using my C128.
Yeah, I know Ray's site, and he does some good stuff and supplies schematics iirc. As my love of retro slows down I doubt I'd get a PSU from him, but what would put me off at the moment is shipping (unless you build your own).
And then the Brexit charge.. I watched Jan Beta build his dual Atari and C64 PSU, didn't seem at all hard, and nice to have in one box. Hopefully my existing PSU's hold out while I have the gear.
My Ray Carlsen power supply arrive a couple of weeks ago without incurring any further charges. It’s in a nice metal chassis and has both a C64/VIC 20 and C128 power connector. In addition to two 5 pin DIN plugs for my physical Oceanic disk drives. So everything is powered from one unit. Really nicely made.
Sounds like an excellent all in one jobbie, Richie, that will obviously see us all out. Great move and recommendation, mate, in case any of us chaps fancy such a quality psu upgrade.
