If you're looking to replace a failed unit, what I found to be a an easy solution is simply removing the guts from a newer, easier to find higher wattage AT power supply and bolting them into the XT power supply chassis. You can wire up the switch as well.
What you end up with is a high wattage XT power supply which is more efficient and cooler operating then the old-skool PSU.

I wish I could do that. Unfortunately, I ripped out the original Power Supply and threw it in the trash.

I'm pretty sure I have an empty IBM XT power supply case with the switch still attached, so, if you get to that point, let me know.

Yep. That's what I ended up doing with one of my of XT supplies when it died last year. Works great and looks original.If you're looking to replace a failed unit, what I found to be a an easy solution is simply removing the guts from a newer, easier to find higher wattage AT power supply and bolting them into the XT power supply chassis.
