[Elecraft] Power Supplies

Good Morning Ya’ll

This morning my Astron SS-30M (used regularly for 15 years) went south in a puff of smoke and voltage on the meter was fluctuating around 10VDC. No damage to the K3. WHEW! I pulled out my Astron VS-50M (haven’t used in 15 years) and its voltage was also fluctuating a bit (maybe needs to reform caps?) (I’ll try it later on a ... should I say ... a radio I will not worry about too much ... or build a load for it). At a local swapfest last weekend a seller had several Astron power supplies that he was selling as parts units. He commented that they were unreliable. 

That being said, what are the groups recommendations for a power supply?
