Power supply conversion

Jun 19, 2008 6 Replies

I bought 10 AT style computer power supplies. I have converted two into a modeling power supply that provides both 5 and 12 volts. They run my charger and receivers/servos, but not my foam cutting hot wire. I want to sell the remaining 8, along with directions. The final cost to do a conversion would be about $40, including shipping and parts. Is anyone in this group interested, or should I put them on ebay?

I hate to burst your bubble, but you can get good 12V power supplies from surplus electronics places for less than that price. Try

. How much current do you need for foam cutting?

Did mine from Goodwill for about $9. mk

Did mine using a pair of snipe, 3 small jackalopes, 6 grams of well aged toenail clippings, a Steve Miller Band "The Joker" 8 track tape, and an odd shaped stone. Puts out 12v at 10 amps, 6v at 10 amps, and blarch googens at 11/34 verbitt. Only cost me 6' of catgut and a femur.

I'm having trouble believing you gave up the 8 track. :) mk

And if that is the stone I think it was, it was stolen from me by a load of bikers around 1971. I'd like it back please.

Well, I had 145 of em and the extra one just didn't fit in the case.
