Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

Details in next post below... But first, do you have a multimeter? Measure the resistance (Ohms, 200 ohm range) of each of the primary windings. So the first winding is between the connections labelled 1 and 2. The second winding is between the connections labelled 5 and 6. The resistance should be...

Yes, I do have a digital multimeter. I'll check the resistances.

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

Thank you Mark. Much appreciated.

Just been cutting the switch and power connector holes out from the box. You're quite correct about the mess it makes! Best thing to to is make the mess when the other half is out and make sure it's cleared up before she's back. She'll never know then!!

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

Mark, Can you help me out with the transformer please as I'm not sure how to wire it up? Also, how did you mount it in the box?

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

Great pics Mark. My bits and pieces have started to arrive so I'm itching to start! Just need to find some hook up wire of various colours which is harder than you'd think over here.

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

I'd thought you'd use someting clever :D ;) Don't worry about the pic. I've been looking at strain reliefs and I needed one anyway as I'm going to be converting my Beeb's PSU to 120v and I'll be replacing the power cord with a moulded US one. I've ordered a couple as they're only 10 cents each but I...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

Thank you.

How does the cable that is connected to the 6 pin DIN socket exit the box? I expect through a hole, but what strain relief have you used? Can you post a close-up shot?

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

I wish there was a Rapid over here as I've had to get bits the parts from different places, but the bu...
