[Amps] High Voltage Switching Supply (Bob D.)

[A J]

I was given two Lambda 202A-3KV-POS-PFC I have no idea what they came 
out of.

Have not had the opportunity to test them. I posted the specs of what 
the manufacturer rated them. Which seems would be fine for many 
applications.

No idea of they will even work in an amp or what the output looks like 
or how loud the fans are.

I have seen these on ebay for ~150.00

Something like this might be what you are looking for.
