I used to have a really nice MRC power supply, and would like to get another. But it's been so long since, does anyone know how much a good one costs these days?

 The MRC 9500 is still the way to go if you are going to stay DC.

 This is from the MRC and there list is $169.99. So on line or a good Hobby shop they should be around $120.00.

 You might all so check out there Tech 4 units, he is a link.

Look for them on eBay.   Good DC packs are selling all the time as folks move to DCC.
