RobertB Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Good news! In his understated way, Ray Carlsen writes: > I just finished updating my website to include the new C64 mini PS and some adapters that will eliminate > the Y configuration on new power supplies that run a C64 and C128. O.K., here are more details, all found at http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/custom%20ps.html The mini C64 p.s., priced at $55 plus shipping, is rated 5VDC @ 4 amps and 9VAC @ 1 amp. The very custom M-AM/64/128-2D p.s., priced at $140, powers a C64/128/VIC-20CR and disk drives, or with the flip of a switch, an Amiga 500/600/1200. Now on the webpage, the VIC-20E two-prong p.s., priced at $35, outputs 9VAC @ 3 amps. The C64-to-128 p.s. adapter and the C128-to-64 p.s. adapter are $15 each. (Not pictured is his heavy-duty p.s. for the Amiga CD32.) All of these are in addition to his other C64/128/VIC-20CR and Amiga 500/600/1200 power supplies! At http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cables.html there is another addition/improvement. It is the "Deluxe Box" Computer Saver and PS Tester, priced at $50. Not only does it prevent overvoltages from original CBM power supplies, but it also "allows p.s. testing without being connected to a computer."

Arnuphis Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Worth the investment I would say. I need to contact him again to get one for my Plus/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertB Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 There is now a new, attractive, and well-organized front-end to Ray's website. Go to http://carlsenelectronics.net Ray has confirmed that he has lowered the prices on his power supplies, and his shipping costs are generally lower.

eightbit Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I know I have bumped topics about Ray before, but every time I see one and had not I feel compelled to Ray is just such a great guy, and old school. Be prepared to write a check or get a money order! But, that is just fine as Ray makes bar none the BEST power supplies you are ever going to get and can customize them any way you like. In my situation I wanted a PSU that can allow both a CR VIC-20 *and* a C64 to be powered on at the same time (or two C64's for that matter) and have the ability to power an Amiga 500/600/1200. He designed a custom PSU that can do all of that for me. That was nearly three years ago and it is my daily driver. It is safe, reliable, and didn't cost me an arm and a leg for what I requested. And it saves me a WHOLE lot of space! Initially I had him build a PSU without the Amiga support and after a few weeks I wanted the Amiga addition. He took the PSU he built for me previously back in and swapped it for the upgraded model I have now. He did not have to do that but this is the kind of honest and great guy he is. I cannot recommend Ray enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertB Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 With Ray producing many, different Commodore/Amiga power supplies, it's hard to keep up with what's available and what's the pricing for them. You can easily and clearly find them at http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/custom ps.html An alternative if the front-end of the site is making you look around too long, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group - http://www.dickestel.com/fcug.htm Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network - http://www.portcommodore.com/sccan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
