A friend gave me a DEC VK100 (aka GiGi) recently. It's in really nice
shape, but it is missing the power supply. Before I try to kludge something
up with an ATX supply, I thought I'd ask if anybody knows where I might find
an official replacement.
Thanks,
Bob

The board in the supply is an Astec, so might be findable other ways
than just "the GIGI supply", but you probably don't have any of the fan,
switch / plug assembly, or bent sheet metal either, I bet.

Thanks for the picture. AFAIK this supply wasn't used in anything other than the
VK100 so that's the only source for a direct replacement.
Kludging something up with a modern supply looks fairly easy; there's plenty of room
in there, but it will be ugly. Don't know what I'll do about the fan, but the
VK100 logic itself probably doesn't need a fan so whatever is built into the ATX will
be enough.

At least the ATX won't be full of RIFA caps?

P.S. Oh, and no - I don't have the subchassis for the supply, nor the fan, switch,
IEC inlet or any of that fancy stuff.

Maybe something like a MEAN WELL RPT-60B open frame power supply would
be easier to fit into the enclosure than an ATX power supply. Around
$23 new at Mouser.
