Re: arp2600 psu (was: where to buy new power transformer?)

thanks mariano. actually, the ua723/ua748's are still available and
cheap, check mouser. the mje1100/1090's are harder to find/expensive,
but still out there. 

needless to say, i ordered all of the above today, and will drop in
when they all arrive. i'll check back in a week or so when i have more
news. as far as any problems downstream pulling down the - rail, im
just gonna get the PSU running properly and see where it takes me. i
guess the obvious thing is just to disconnect the +/-/com leads to
synth and then test; i'll probably do that when all the parts come in.

thanks for the help, guys. hoping to have a fully functional 2600 in a
week or so!
