Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies

Just called Lexicon parts dept. They are ordering less of these and the new price shipped is $168! Yikes. My display is very dim and the first simple fix is replace the PS. Less compelling at $168.

Are there any other sources for this PS?

For those that replaced the caps, how many do you change out? Is your fix still working?

Thanks

ouch. I guess I was lucky I bought when I did. I read somewhere that this is a standard PS unit that can be bought elsewhere (ie through standard component sellers like Mouser). I don't know what P/N to look for though. You may want to google . . .

mine died too. just called lexicon. they now want $184 for new psu shipped w/in usa.

i called www.pyramid-audio.com, authorized lexicon repair center, and i ordered a replacement psu from them for $75 shipped in usa.

received and installed the new ps from pyramid audio. worked perfectly. the display is brighter and looks better. interestingly, the unit seems to sound a whole lot better. much more open. tighter bass. and a huge improvement in the high frequency extension. wow! wish i'd done this while ago. totally forgot how good this unit can sound. highly recommended even if you ps hasn't died yet. i failed to figure out how to remove the old ps without bending the side panel. simply bent it back. looks the same. plan to keep mc-1 for a while now!

Bringing up old post cause I now have the same problem, except that my DC-2 also gave off strong burnt electric fumes. Does this still mean the power supply? I have put together several pc's so replacing it seems within my capabilities.
