Original 520 ST power supply

[cbmeeks]

I just bought an original 520 ST for $29. It needs some cleaning and painting that I'm doing now. Original owner spilled red paint all over it!!

 

Anyway, it didn't come with a power supply so I have no way to test it. My other ST's either don't have power supplies or they have them internal. This ST is the first.

 

I'd rather use a modern PSU if I could. Anyone know where I can get something new or perhaps on how to build one? I have reasonable eletronic skills and can solder, etc.

 

Thanks.

I actually installed a PicoPsu in my 520st its small enough that it fits

You may be able to get away with supplying just the 5v, the +/- 12v seems to only be needed for the RS-232 port: http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=28472
