MK1 Suitcase PSU

Hi friends

I am going to build a replica suitcase cabinet for my MK1 Stage and have accumulated all the hardware, sustain pedal/mechanism and legs but the hardest thing to source is the PSU. No-one seems to have one for sale so I am considering making a replica switch/socket plate and using a switching supply to replace the original PSU. From what I can gather (correct me if I'm wrong) the PSU puts out the 24V for both the preamp and the power amp. My current VV external PSU is a 24V switching supply for the preamp but I cannot find the specs of the power amp and the current draw.

Can anyone tell me what the current draw of the preamp and power amp are so that I can spec the correct rating of switching supply?

Alternatively if anyone has a spare MK1 suitcase power supply and or 80w power amp I'm all ears :-)

Best

I have one that I do not need, but I do not know the condition of the electronics.
I seem to remember a tech making some mod to it years and years ago ( like 30) and I think some parts may be missing. But, It's for sale if you want it.

I am out of town, but pm me if you want more info later. I will be home Monday.
