Looking for Atari 130XE parts

[Ian Primus]

My first computer was an Atari 130XE. It was a great machine, and served me well. I still have it, along with all my disks, books, hardware and stuff. Unfortunately. it no longer works. It had been failing for a while. The row of keys with Start Reset, etc. died a few years ago. Then, last year, when I went to hook it up again, it didn't do anything at all. The red light didn't come on and there was no picture on the screen. I tested the power supply with a multimeter, and it was dead as a dornail. No power. I cracked it open, and resoldered the cable, and replaced a burned component, and it tested good on the meter. But, when I hooked it back to the Atari I still got nothing, even though the computer is getting power. I would really like to get my computer working again, or find another one. I would also like to replace that power supply too, I don't know what went wrong with it the first time, but I sure don't want it to happen again. What I would like to find is another 130XE with a good power supply. Case and keyboard condition is not important, as I have a good case, and the keyboard works except for that row of keys at the top, which is probably just a bad connection where the membrane meets the motherboard.
