I am after an Aristocraft (Crest) 'Elite' power supply. Used and working is fine.
This came in three forms one with three voltages 23v, 18v, 13.8v
The later ones had two voltages 23v, 13.8v
The final one having one voltage

Ideally I am after the three voltage version

I like using the 18v setting for all things DC
The amperage was about 13amps.

There are some that pop up on US Ebay but with shipping cost, shipping import tax, Parcel Force's additional fees they are too expensive.

Dual voltage version

What might you be suggesting Greg ? ;) I have had my 2 voltage model for 18 years now. 100% reliable to date. Though a touch under stressed in my usage. Garden Railway Specialists (GRS) in the UK were very keen for me to buy one, along with a TE 5470 (with the optional cooling fan) to run my one and only USAT GP38-2 when I started. Well, their reasoning was you never know how much power you may one day need - future proofing so to speak :think: I never ran more that 2 locos at a time and have now gone all on board battery power, RC with sound :D Dear old GRS - never knowingly oversold.

But I intend to keep my CRE 55465/TE 5470 combo, sorry Mike, handy for bench testing installations without batteries and clipping on to the line if the unexpected turns up :) A bit OTT in that application I know. Max
 
Mike, I have one, along with all the other TE bits you sold me in Aug 2018, and as I have moved to battery I am considering selling it along with the rest of the TE equipment, however it would be as a "job lot"
 
Mike, Jimmy,
I would be interested in 'splitting' the bundle, if that helped?

I could do with a working Crest supply, just for a few days, as I want to take some measurements, at various places internally..

I seem to have become a bit of a repository for poorly Revolution gear..
I also buy-up, if / when we have shows again.

Oh yes Greg...I have used them since I started 15 years ago but one has been outside (though covered) and has finally succumbed to the elements.
I am now DCC, battery and live steam, with a bit of DC for the locos that I will not be converting....
BUT I also use the 'Elite' power supply to run other things on the layout, like the huge amount of lighting (mixture of LED and tungsten) in all of the buildings etc... and that is what I need to replace.

Contact me through conversations Jimmy... If somebody would want the TE control then I could let them have that as I just need the power supply

Phil, I have started a conversation with Mike, and looking to sell as a "job lot", then Mike can let you have what he doesn't want.
