Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
You can see the inside of the cable on the left hand side at the bottom of the case, under the stripboard (with the large electrolytic capacitor and fuse) in the pictures of this post :mrgreen: Coming up over the weekend, I have some pictures of how I cut the hole for the mains switch and of the IEC...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
I'm on a train at the moment. I will post a picture on Saturday. Can't do much tomorrow (Friday) as I have to go to London for a meeting. It is best to use a cable gland, but at the moment I have just drilled a hole, covered the cable with heat shrink tubing and used a cable tie either side of the t...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
Sure thing, don't have time at the moment, but I will look through it later. Funny that you talk about having to get parts from different suppliers. I often use Rapid because they have a good general range and for the most part, their prices are similar or cheaper than Farnell or RS (the two big sup...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
Whoops! :o :shock: :oops: :roll: :lol: The parts list / BOM is wrong. Fuse 3 (F3) should be a 1A "Fast" (F) or "Quick Blow" (QB) 20mm x 5mm glass fuse, NOT a Time Delay/Slow Blow. I must have still been thinking about that F1 :x (I was putting the spreadsheet together as I was ch...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
Mark, I'm having problems locating a suitable 110v-120v transformer with the dual 7.5v output. The best place I've found is Digikey.com, but not the required output. Here's their list of transformers http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/transformers/power-transformers/786735 Is there a suitable...

Okay, so which alien invader has abducted Dave?
Okay, so which alien invader has abducted Dave? I know he's been busy with a Memotech reboot :shock: Or has he gone all tree, as in Acorn on us? :? But it's like, the first week of April since he annoyed everyone with a horrible post. I will spare you all from the horror by not providing a link (tha...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
Okay, in the attachment is a parts list / BOM. It's nearly all UK based, but I'm sure overseas readers will be able to pick up suitable alternative parts ;-) The file is an Excel spreadsheet that has been zipped up :mrgreen: And here is a text listing (long entries have been cut-off). Read the Excel...

Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU
If you grab a time machine and visit Memofest 2014 you can/could of seen it powering a real MTX computer
I forget now if there any pictures taken at Memofest 2014 showing it.
