Hey gang, I just spoke with Peter Toms (in person), the guy at Condor Electronics who is making power supplies available. He showed me one of them and they are about 50% larger and have a higher capacity than the Electrix models. And just like the current Electrix PS, they will work with 50-60 Hz, at 100-240 volts. Perfect for all you overseas Repeater users, or people hoping to gig out of the US or Canada. Just like the Electrix version, these also have a male plug for the power cord, so you can easily switch from a 120v cord to a 240v cord of whatever plug configuration. CE certified. Currently he is conversing with IVL in hopes of procuring all their leftover replacement parts. Some of their parts are specific to the Repeater and cannot be replaced once their supply runs out (short of ordering quantities of 500). I'm talking about things like IC chips. If you have any issues with repair of an Electrix unit, you can either send it to IVL who maintain a current repair department, or you can send it to Condor. Before Electrix went under, Condor was the only authorized repair warrentee shop in the US. Peter is an avid Repeater user and is doing this power supply project because he believes in supporting this community. He also uses all the other Electrix gear in his stand-up bass rig. He told me to mention to this list that Condor is making these power supplies available for $90 plus shipping. Again, if he were able to buy these in bulk, the cost would go way down. Though again, he'd probably have to buy 200 at a time and I don't think he'd ever recoup his expenses if he made that plunge. They come with a full warrantee from Electrix. He hopes to ship the first batch out as early as next week. After that, he'll make up a few at a time to supply the demand from this list. You can order them directly from Condor Electronics (no web presence): Condor Electronics 125 N 36th Street Seattle WA 98103 206 633 5190 Cheers, Stephen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
