Re: [APML] OT: Gemini Power Supply....

Hey Roland,

You can definitely do better than that. Pyramid had some good deals for
about $30. You'd like at least 5 amp, surge of 7 amp, or more. I run my
setup with a Lacey DC/DC convertor. For your mount considerations
though, I'd suggest you join the Losmandy group like I did. Great info
on the mount and lots of help with the Gemini too if you have that.
There's a link to the group on the Losmandy site.
