TRS-80 Model I heavy-duty power supply kit for project builders
Price: AU $30.00
NOTE: I STILL SELL THE 240V VERSION FOR THOSE COUNTRIES WHICH REQUIRE IT, JUST SAY SO AFTER YOU PURCHASE THE ITEM IF YOU WANT ME TO SEND THE 240V VERSION.
This custom power supply provides enough power to run both the TRS-80 Model I keyboard unit and Expansion Interface (and a fully packed EI at that), and produces less heat and RF noise than the old Radio Shack \"black brick\" supplies. I have been using a beta version of this PSU since 2013.
This project is aimed at experienced electronics enthusiasts who can solder, test and confirm output voltages, and crimp cable connectors. Once completed you have a very reliable heavy duty PSU which should give trouble free operation for decades.
To keep shipping costs down you need to buy the toroid transformers in your own country and solder them on yourself (use Talema 70060K and 70061K or Amgis L01-6360 & L01-6361).
The 3rd picture shows how the PSU fits inside the EI.
You get: PCB circuit board with discrete components as pictured.You need to: solder on two toroid transformers, AC power cable, test the outputs are within range (16-17V on the AC and DC outputs), and fabricate cables to supply your Model I and EI.
Shipping will be $13.50 worldwide.
