I'd like to thank those of you who sent me Email about my ailing SE. I pulled out the power supply last night and checked the outputs with a voltmeter. The 2 +12V lines and the 5V line were about 14 and 6 volts respectively while the -12V line was only about -8V. So, do I buy another power supply or maybe try a "lab" supply to see if something else might be wrong? BTW, what is the -12V used for? The power supply label says that the 2 +12V lines are for the disk and sweep. I assume the +5V line runs the silicon. -edc-

I called Priority One in San Jose to get a price for a replacement MacSE power supply. I was quoted $165 for the supply and an extra $30 for optional installation and a 9 month warranty. Is this a good deal? Someone sent me Email saying an SE power supply could be had for $65 via mail order. Where do I get one of these? -edc-
