Anyone know where I can get a power supply for the EII or get one repaired?  Any repair centers in the Los Angeles area that can repair them?

Bruce Forat of the Forat Brothers still services the Emulator II (and other E-Mu units) in the Los Angeles area, but as has been noted here before, he is very expensive.

Speaking personally, I had Bruce refurbish a LinnDrum II that I bought in non-working condition, and I thought his craftsmanship was excellent. But again, the bill was not cheap.

I am going tonight for a week.

Everything at Forat is expensive. When they bought the Linn machine parts when Roger Linn went out of business, everyone was calling the "Four rats". And still do...

I am going to dig in my documentation and will telle you ASAP, by august 3rd.

Cheers

I just went to my friendly neighborhood electronics supply place to get caps to rebuild the power supply and they talked me out of it. They said there should be a replacement for it new. Has anyone tried inputting the specs into the mouser site? I was able to replace the power supply in my studio 440 with one from Mouser, and it seems like something that can be had for the EII...

 Anyone??

I'm pretty sure this will work. I found one pretty cheap that I'm going to pick up. UNfortunately I'll be working on location for almost the next 2 weeks so the suspense will kill me!

  According to the specs it outputs exactly what the EII wants to see, it's just a matter of hooking the wires up right.

 The transformer in my power supply is making funky noises, and I'm not entirely sure that just re-capping would fix that, I'd hate to spend the time re-capping the entire thing to find out it didn't help.

  The Condor supply is medical grade, looks pretty nice.
