Vulcan GS Power Supply Replacement



Hi Guys,

In a recent thread of mine I spoke about having had issues in repairing my recently acquired Vulcan GS power supply. Well, I spent ages trying to fix it and in the end threw in the towel. Instead of fixing it, I replaced it with a better one!

I have also found a great replacement power supply to be used for any Apple II, as it is very small and is a quad output supply (no need for any voltage regulators). And at present, its very inexpensive - US$13.50 each from Jameco. The supply in question is the EOS "Red Rocket" MVLT80-4000. It's an 80W quad output supply and approved for medical usage (I assume this means the output is better regulated?).

You can find further details of how I installed this inside the Vulcan GS on my web site:

BTW: I've restructured my web site, so anyone with direct links will need to update their links. :-)

Anyway, I hope this find is of benefit to others. I think this supply is a perfect replacement power supply going forward. I bought 2, one for a backup. :-)
