Re-Cap or Replacement for Atari TT PSU

The work exxos is doing on PSUs for the Atari ST and Falcon are admirable. It helps us to prolong the life of these old machines. However I was wondering where the TT fits into this and if the TT PSU has been looked at for a reCap, a replacement or is it so similar to the MegaSTE or Falcon that it could be retrofitted.

As far as I know, the TT & MSTE power supply of the same unit ?

If that is the case then I feel a reCap purchase from yourself is in order. I have just acquired a TT and when it arrives I’ll pop it open to confirm.

Yes TT and MSTE has the same PSU. Exxos sells a PSU recap for it on his webstore, I bought it myself.

Thanks for confirming Steve. I too purchased the reCap for a MegaSTE a couple of weeks ago. One order coming up for the TT

Yes, as pointed out by others it should be the same.
To be 100% sure however, take a look at what it says on the PSU (the label on top, underneath or on the PCB itself) when it arrives. It should read "Phihong PSM-5341". If you haven't recapped before I've written
a "how to" on that specific PSU.
Good luck with that TT!

Thanks Pacman - the guide is very comprehensive and I see you have used the same fan as the one I put in my MegaSTE after re-capping.
The TT arrived and after popping open it was indeed the same PHIHONG PSM-5341 PSU as the MegaSTE. I seem to of lucked out on the TT. It came with a MegTT FastRam card including being populated with 128MB.
