Very custom power supplies from Ray Carlsen

Post by RobertBe »

Over the years, C= repair technician Ray Carlsen has built "very custom", special-order power supplies for Commodores and Amigas (in addition to his regular, universal p.s.'s). Check out the photos of his very custom p.s.'s at

Ray built me a custom power supply to power both my cost reduced and 2-prong VICs.

I highly recommend his work. It's great to no longer worry about my VICs frying because of a faulty 30+ year old PSU.

Oh, I never thought of that! I'm always traveling around with either the 2-prong VIC or the CR, and I can't count how many times I've brought the wrong p.s. for the wrong machine. With a custom p.s. like yours, I wouldn't have to worry about matching the p.s. with the machine.

Check out the new power supplies (North American, 120V, two-prong) for the VIC-20 (early model). Go to
