    I don’t have any idea where to find a PSU for a green screen controller I’m sorry to say. Further to Peter Groom’s post, I’d avoid those junk merchants like the plague. They used to be called “salvage-squad” as an indication of what they started as. As one negative feedback said about them: “The most annoying and vexatious people I have ever experienced!” I had an experience with them to this effect. I have a friend who bought a Logic 2 with Audiofile SC32 from them in the near past. Usual blurb about all working etc. He got it all, after paying a sizeable amount for it, and nothing worked. After spending weeks assisting him to get it to boot, it was found the display controller was duff, and with that, the system just sat there. Their reply to this was “we don’t have any spares in stock at this time.” and nothing. They are horrible junk dealers who know nothing about the stuff they buy in bulk from studio clear-outs, and care not that their listings are lies tacked onto info from google searches. Blaah!

    Sorry that wasn’t more helpful, but be warned about them, and the severe disappointment they cause.

    In response to Peter’s question: I use an Audiofile SC32/SAM for recording music, albeit awkwardly. You mention “skip” – guessing you’re in the UK too? Don’t know what all that gear posturing is about from that other chap, to the tune of 50 odd chapters of unrelated response, but I also agree there aren’t many editors in this class. In supporting that, I used a Dyaxis (still have parts from it), related-era Digidesign stuff, and Sadie as BBC Radio use as standard, and have looked over the fairlight MFX etc. Er, desktop audio editors in a PC and motion-picture scoring systems (only the fairlight and Audiofile fall into the latter from that great list) aren’t really the same. Perhaps that battle of nomenclature kicked off with the declaration of: “..real pro end studio hard disc recording system..” -quite wide. 🙂 If you mean serious motion picture scoring and dialogue / sfx non-destructive (all fades/crossfades in hardware etc.) production system, ahh. That’s the ol Audiofile. Though, i’m speaking a few years ago now. heh.

    On another note Peter, I have many parts after stripping down a second SC32 with SAM some months ago, and a lot of original software, manuals, bits, screws, cables etc. If you need something, I keep loads around.

    Sorry this response is a bit late, but..
