. . . and then read the first line of the message:

for European voltages,
Which is it: "PC 5150", or "PC/ XT"?
The first is worth less, sells for more, and is getting harder to find.
The second is easier to find, and there are many tons of generics in
landfill.
Is this to be a "museum restoration"?, in which case there are issues of
multiple releases of the 5150 supply (my first 16K 5150 came with a black
supply with a white switch. Have seen few of those since then.)
Or is this "get it working"?, in which case a 130W or 150W Taiwan generic
should be fine.
What happened to the original? Contrary to popular belief, they ARE
repairable.
