Right. R/S has two cords (278-1254 and 278-1256), but I think that
the -1256 is the one. For the power supply, I bought a 9vAC 3.4a surplus
power supply (Atari, I think) for $5 from Marlin P. Jones & Assoc., one of
my favorite
surplus catalogs. They carry a lot, but it seems that they specialize in
power supplies of various types. When I'm building something, I go to them
for the power portion of the project.
