RAShepherd Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hi Everybody, Can anyone recommend any places in Europe where I might be able to find an Atari PSU for the very first STs, ie the 260 & 520s with no built in floppy, & external PSU required? I know where to get one in the US but the import tax and postage is a killer for a heavy power brick :-). So, I know a few places in Europe, but they don't have what I need.... I'm in Merry Olde England and I'd like to get one before we leave the European Union/World Market crashes etc, etc.. If you're reading this, YOU ARE ATARI! (not infogrames...) Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 That's PSU has 5V and 12V (if I remember correct), stabilized. If getting one original (and 30-33 years old) is problem, and it is, I would get 1x 5V and 1x 12V PSU and connect to 520 ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle_jedi Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The Amiga 500/600/1200 PSU outputs the same voltages as the 520ST requires: +5V, +12V and -12V. Cut off the cable and solder on the 7-pin female DIN required by the ST. Alternatively you can use a Mean Well RT50B which outputs the same voltages. Find a suitable project case and assemble your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarian1 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 https://centuriontech.eu/ They have new 3rd party 520ST power supplies that use updated technologies so it's smaller and runs cooler than the original. Prices are in Euros so the should fit your bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAShepherd Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Thanks for everyone's replies, I knew I could count on this community! I don't post much but I read a lot and have gained so much from here. Thanks again, those new tech cool (temperature) PSUs from Centuriontech.eu look like just the thing. ( Atari and Amiga ones too....) and they look like they have lots of good stuff / good ideas like 3D printing hard to find bits etc. Any of my fellow Eurotrash should check out their website! I'd better get an order in before the value of the pound tanks thru the floor! (I'm sure that's coming....)
