The problem with the 340 is that the power supply have a tendency of blowing up with age. (I have two broken ones...) Can they be replaced with anything sensible, i.e. could a qualified electrician build a new one for not too much effort? Electricians do not do this sort of work. They primarily pull cable and run what amounts to plumbing and lots of physical construction. What you're talking about is engineering. It would likely be easier to repair the existing power supplies. Are schematics around? ...or wire up an ATX supply. ....if it has the right voltages. Not everything is +12/+5. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
