There can't be anything *too* complicated in the SDS8 power supply.  It must provide a positive and negative rail somewhere about 15V for the analogue bits and +5V for the digital bits.  If you can't find one transformer that has the correct windings, use two ;-)

Your friendly neighbourhood electronics geek should be able to sort it out.  I suspect you're not sufficiently near me for you to bring it over, but if you find yourself about half-way up Scotland on the left-hand side give me a shout.
