Re: ES45 says power supply failed

If you were "lucky" enough to buy the Model 1B or 2B 3B etc then YOU have to
have 240V circuits to prvide for these.
There is a conversion kit for them to bring them to a 120V (turns a 2B into
a 2)

It consists of the power backplane and 1+x+x power supplies

The model 2 has been a lot more popular purely because so many computer
rooms now have 120V circuits (yes I know most Ex-Vax houses have 3 phase and
240V circuits left over from the dark ages)
