Got a couple odd ATs today

Shroomie · 04-17-2006, 10:11 PM

Well, I acquired five AT power supplies today. A Hyena '230w' that was a clone of an Austin, both of which are LC-200C's. Cheap junk - that got squashed. (I posted the Austin in the pictorial thread.)

I also got a "Paoku P&C" 200w, which has Nippon Chemi-Cons for primary capacitors. Happy day!

The peculiar ones are made by "DVE", '94 through '96 or so. Two of them, the same model, have cases where the top, bottom, and back (inside) come off as a clamshell as opposed to the usual top and sides. One has two
"Tosin" caps and some CapXons, the other two beautiful Rubycons and also some small CapXon. The third, a normal top/side cover supply, has two "Nitsuko" primary caps with KM and CapXon little guys. The odd ones are 200w/250w surge, and the more normal supply is also a 200w.

Anyone heard of these companies? I didn't find much searching...

I'll include pictures once I find the camera.

There are many weird PSU brands, especially from the AT age. They sometimes use weird cap brands too. AT PSUs are usually very reliable - they're usually not heavily loaded.

Nice thing about some AT supplies is the aluminium frame panaflo fans they put in some of them, I still have a 120mm aluminium framed fan running out of a dead AT supply...

DVE iirc is portuguese maker. Tosin caps look very much like UCC - I've seen some in the PSU of an old VCR.
