Hello fellow Amibayers,

PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T JUST WRITE 'interested' in this thread. Send me a PM, too. I simply can't keep track here, and also, it's in the rules that you have to confirm your interest by PM within 24 hours after posting to a thread. Everyone who didn't send me PM and didn't hear from me or finds himself in the list on the bottom, please send a PM now. Thanks!

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I have to care for my kids and don't have much spare time. I'll try and keep sending out orders in a timely manner. However, I can't give any guarantees right now.

Update 2020-04-27/2020-05-03: I wanted to stop making these already, but due to ongoing demand I've got 15 more "raw" PSUs heading my way. However, it's becoming increasingly difficult to source these for a reasonable cost, so I will have to raise the price by 4 EUR 2,50 EUR. Hope, you'll understand. User XLV2K will be the last to get his PSU for 16 EUR.

The current (and definitely last) batch are NOS PSUs, so no scratchmarks or other usage traces!

Stay healthy!

I'm selling SOLD OUT replacement power supplies for the CD32, especially suitable for consoles upgraded by TerribleFire's excellent TF330 accelerator.

This is a high quality power brick, originally build by Delta Technologies for a range of Cisco switches. I cleaned it, changed the connector to a CD32 compatible DIN style one, and did some re-styling. ;-)
As for the technical specs, the supply can take any input voltage between 100 and 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and is able to output 4.4 Ampére @ 5.2 V and 560 mA @ 12 V. The original PSU of my CD32 only manages 2.2 A @ 5 V, so the new one leaves lots of headroom. This is of great importance to the available accelerators, since they only tap into the 5 V line.

However, because this device supplies 5.2 V instead of just 5 V, it will provide a slight overvoltage to the CD32's components. Although this should be well within the tolerance limits of all Amiga circuitry, which according to my experience can take even 5.5 V without any problems, you should only consider buying this PSU if you feel comfortable about that fact. Only thing I can say is that my CD32 already ran for hours on one of these without any problems.
That said, here are some pictures:

Declaring interest in ONE (1) PSU.
Shipping to Australia.
Will PM now for payment details.
Thanks.
Wonderful idea I was contemplating doing myself but still unable to source a CISCO PSU at decent cost... well done mate.
 
Still no reply from eXeler0. Anyone interested in the PSU I made for him?

I can also do more if there's interest. I now have a buckload of spare DIN plugs... ;-)
 
Payment sent, positive feedback received as well as shipping information. All good. Waiting for the goods to arrive to Australia... :)
 
PSU arrived in Australia... as well with other goods. ;)
Great stuff, mate.
Positive feedback left in advance, I can't do more. Thanks my friend. :LOL:

I would be interested in this unit, if it is available.

I'm located in Australia.

Cheers.
Matt.
 
Im also interested in one. Please send me a PM when ready
 
I'm on vacation right now. Will send PMs to all who expressed interest on June 24th.

Thank you for your patience,
Torsten
