Power Supply for Astrocade?

[TVisitor]

I bought an untested astrocade.  In addition to some other issues, the power supply is blown (there's a melted spot through the case).  

 

I have the specs on the PS and can make one using 2 transformers, but I have to wonder - does anyone out there have a PS for an astrocade I could buy reasonably before I go down this route?

 

Thanks.

I don't know who Allen is, is there a way to contact him?

He's a forum member, you can look him up by that name, sorry I mean to link him but had trouble on my phone.

If you decide that do not want to deal with the repair then Allen might be able to sell you a working system or maybe you could send your system to him and have him repair it.  He is known for being very good at what he does.  He also sells reproductions of very hard to find Astrocade games.

I found a transformer document that has a nice writeup on the Bally power supply, so I believe with 3 of them I can make my own.  I'm going to give it a shot first before pursuing other avenues!
