I nominate Brent's PP. That Power Brick alone should justify it ! Totally amazing !

Post by: newkillergenius on May 29, 2008, 04:01:32 pm: Because it is a piece of poo. Though all this doesnt answer my question :laugh2:

Brent, nice job BTW. Thats a very nice machine now. :cheers:

Post by: Level42 on May 29, 2008, 05:14:07 pm: Every Atari Power Supply I've seen so far was actually working fine even before the rebuild.
It's not a piece of poo. Maybe the one you have is....

The problem is you'd need a range of "unusual" voltages that modern switchers simply don't supply.
