Does anyone know if Alembic ever made ones like this, or is this more likely a D-I-Y thingie? Inquiring minds want to know.

Things that make you go "hmmmmm".

Although the one on EBay had it's power cord replaced and the 5-pin connector was changed from a Cannon to a Switchcraft. To me it seems legit. There should also be transfer rub letters over the 1/4 inch outputs. They should be labeled B and T. It was strictly stereo and there was no mono output. I have one that went through a flood that I modified. Since the aluminium casing was pitting badly from the saltwater, I painted it black. Then I converted it from stereo to strictly mono. It is kinda like my "beater" power supply that I take with me when I don't want to drag my rack with the IN-2 in it. By the way the older ones also had serial numbers stamped on the rear of them by the power cord too. I will try asking the owner of the one on EBay if there is a serial number. That should confirm things a bit. Michael pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 402 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 4:42 pm:    My '75 came w/ one like that. It looks like this one here had some recent steel wool treatment. dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 940 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 4:46 pm:    I just got an answer from the guy with the power supply. He said that there is no number on the back of this one. I still feel that this could be an Alembic supply. From the picture the aluminum box that the power supply is housed in is EXACTLY like the ones that I have. (Except for the one I painted black!) Who knows. It could go either way. musashi Junior Username: musashi Post Number: 16 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 8:55 pm:    Might be from a Fernandes copy.
