Power Supplies


     Instead of looking for an exact replacement, one option is to order a 
good +5, -5, +12, -12 surplus power supply and fit it into your Apple II 
or IIgs. You can find several at places like Jameco and MPJA.

See MPJA power supplies at http://www.mpja.com/allpict.asp?dept=18

Here are some good looking surplus power suplies from MPJA that could 
be fitted in ...

are surplus PC supplies with a cable that plugs into the IIgs motherboard:
