I've seen the US 110v direct replacement boards for the C128 DCR. However, does anyone know of a UK spec PSU available anywhere, before I try to do my own thing with some 12/9v plug in wall chargers?

Have you asked Ray Carlsen for his advice? He knows a lot about power supplies, and perhaps he can come up with a replacement for you.

Robert. I got in touch with Ray and I showed him the US 110v PSU's that you posted a while ago. He has actually ordered some of them and did kindly offer to rebuild one for a 220v system for me if I get really stuck finding one. I'm going to keep looking for a while to see if any pop up in the meantime.

I didn't know that he had ordered more of the the North American power supplies. I wonder if he has any improvements over the old, mid-1980's design.

Well, from what he told me, it seems the DCR power supplies are quite reliable and dont really go wrong.
My one has actually snapped the board in two and broke some traces and blown something in the process. Ive soldered wires to bridge the connections again but its still not working. Not being any sort of analogue electrical guru, thats as far as I went.
