Suggestion: list of alternativ power supply units PSU

Since our boards are coming to an age where PSU start to fail more and more, how about we start a list of working replacement PSU (apart from the original ones)? As I was not successful with my attempt, so I can't list anything here.

Please also add the Kronos model that you have.

don't think you'll find a drop-in replacement from non-OEM and some DIY-ing may be needed, with that, the "SEASONIC SSP-300SUB" is a good choice. Ask me how I know http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpbb2/ ... p?t=121491.

Yeah, we've been in touch about this. I have difficulty to get the Seasonic though..

Is there any reason the OEM ones can't be repaired?

It will probably depend on the nature of the fault.

There will undoubtedly be a small market for an enterprising electronics person, who understands switched mode power supplies and their repair, and has managed to secure a reasonable stock of spare components.
