*FOUND* used Aristocraft/Crest Elite power supply

[beavercreek]

Looking for an Aristocraft power supply (13 elite or 15 amp everest variety with three voltage selector).

I have been using multiple LGB 1 amp power supplies (5) hooked up in parallel to supply my lighting.
Even though a good deal of the lighting is LED, there area lot of buildings, street lighting and special lighting arrays etc, that the 5 amp total is at its peak.

I already have one Aristocraft Elite 13 amp feeding my Train Engineer receivers and it has been a great work horse. Even though I have added the DCC option, using a Massoth 1200Z, to the three parts of my layout, I still have quite a few non-chipped analogue locos, so will keep the Elite to power those.

So I would like to use another aristo power supply to feed the lighting

This what it looks like (the front switches may be different as they changed the options through the years)

with the two voltage sector


Showing the three voltage selector

Found this Mike?

Says it has no box, but I assume that is the packaging rather than the casing....

Hi Gizzy, many thanks for taking the time to find it.

I had seen that one and it is like one that I originally put up a photo of....but the model that I am really looking for is exactly the same but with a switch for three voltages 22, 18 and 13.I have now put a photo up of the front switching.

If I don`t find a 3 voltage jobbie, and no-one comes up here with one, I may well go for the GRS one. PH Hobbies has a new one at £140 but I am hoping that a cheaper used 3 voltage one may surface!
It is really the 18v for the lighting that I need but with the high amperage. The case of the Aristo supplies is nice and low so it fits in the space outside that I have.

Re: FOUND used Aristocraft/Crest Elite power supply

Managed to get a new 3 voltage one for same price that GRS were asking for a used one.
Result.....now to add on all the extra lighting to use up the extra power headroom!

What can be useful is the industrial Switch mode supplies avalible in diferent voltages and currents,
