Recapped, need more practice to do it more neatly. But it still works even after all the scrubbing I did to clean it. Now the wait for the remaining connectors
Carbon of some of the plungers didn't conduct anymore, put some adhesive copper tape on it. Hope it sticks. Are there better solutions for fixing these?
@andabata In my experience the Mean Well are just fine. However there will be people who say that the ripple is too high. And yes, it is higher than the original Commodore PSU, but I haven't had any bad experience either. There are some PSUs with 50mVpp instead of 80mVpp, but not sure if that makes a difference...
@root42 Can't imagine that a generic customer device like an amiga is that sensitive to 0.03v difference on the powerline either. So i kinda wonder where the worry about the ripple really comes from.
@andabata TTL logic and other ICs can be a bit picky I heard. IIRC the maximum ripple should be below 70mVpp. So a Mean Well would be slightly over spec. In reality I haven't had any bad experiences so far. Additionally the Amiga itself produces so much noise that leaks back into the power rail that I could only measure the ripple on a resistive load. Otherwise it's drowned out by the noise from the Amiga.
@andabata That being said: It would be nice if the PSU manufacturers would invest the 0,10 EUR for an additional filter stage that gets rid of the ripple almost completely.
