Re: (ASCEND) Max 4000 Power Supply

["K.R. Lewis" <randy@rtmx.net>]

Hello,

We had a similar failure and found a suitable replacement power
supply from the original manufacturer: Digital Power Corp.

The Web page which describes the "standard" versions of these
units is:  http://www.digipwr.com/us70.html

You will note that the Ascend part #s are slightly different
for the 4-voltage unit, but otherwise the specs & pinouts are the
same...

Cost?  $69 USD + Shipping

There a number of stocking distributors in the US & Europe.
Click on the 'home' page link, then follow the links to
the Authorized Distributors ( http://www.digipwr.com/distrib.html )

Best of luck to you.
