I have a Zephyr DCS50 and it appears the included power supply has quit working. It is a Digitrax labeled AC to AC Watt power supply stating it has an input voltage of 120 volts 55 Watts and an output of 15 volts AC 3 Amps. They are no longer available from Digitrax. Does anyone have an idea where I can get a new one or a replacement? TIA.

EdThat is only ¾ amp. Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Did I see total link reversal? Mel's link is to a bare transformer, rated at only .3 amp - and unless you have experience, wiring up an AC line cord and fuse isn;t somethign that should be attempted.
And the one Ed links is all built up with an enclosure, but I don't see any amp rating anywhere.
It is next to impossible to find a suitable AC output power supply - even the big electronic suppliers don't have them.
This claims to be the right one - no idea because they don't supply details!

As an alternative, the manual suggests an 18V 3A DC power supply. Those you can find all over the place. Probably your best bet.

Sorry I missed that! I did a Google search for a 3 amp transformer and I didn’t see the error.Randy couldn’t he use a DC supply or does the controller need the 60 Hz for sync?

Specs say 15VAC max, or 18V DC. So the 18V DC option is probably more likely available, and cheaper.
