Looking for information on original power supply
Does anyone have any information on the transformers which were used in the original Altair 8800 power supply? I'm trying to get my hands on either an original set or a modern replacement.
Thanks!

I'm in the process of creating a 3-D mechanical drawing of the original card guide. When it is completed, I will post the DXF file.
Anybody out there have the resources to make a mold?
