[sdiy] CS-80 power transformer

[harry bissell]

iirc - someone made an offboard supply for a CS-80 in a metal toolbox that
sits on the floor next to it. Get the heat out of the CS box and make 
the temp
stability MUCH better to boot... and have two smaller (yeah right) boxes 
that
are lighter. So you can carry the CS-80 in one hand and the power supply in
the other.

Maybe the 'daddy' of that project will identify themself for you on list...

"screw synth-purism!!!"
