[comp.sys.zenith.z100] Z120 Power Supply.

pmd@cbnews.ATT.COM (Paul Dubuc) (12/10/88)

Well, the problem of a broken power supply in my Z120 has been solved.
Thanks to Bruce Gewirz (and those of you who provided me with his address)
for saving me over $100 on a new power supply.  Since I didn't have to
trade in the old non-working supply, I still have it.  Does anyone want
it?  I'll ship it UPS to the first one who asks me for it and sends me $5 
to cover shipping charges (and the trouble of packing it, etc.).  Perhaps
there's someone out there who can get it repaired more cheaply than I could.
I've taken the supply apart; the problem seems to be with components, rather
than heat scoring or bad solder joints on the PC board.  Note that this
supply is for the model Z120, the all-in-one model with the built in monitor.
It will not fit in the low profile model. 

Send e-mail to att!cbdkc1!pmd if interested.  Thanks.

Ditto.  I purchased a used low-profile (with Winchester) power supply
from Bruce and saved about $100 off Zenith's price, thanks to the net.
I bought a surge protector too, as the last power supply was burned out
after just two years of light use.  I'm keeping the old one in hopes I
can fix it if/when needed again.  One component was blown in two, my
first candidate for replacement.  (-:
