Congraduations, Rob!  

I would suspect you're out of luck in the rack situation, since I 
think it's a custom job; hopefully you can still order one from 
Grant.  But at least, being fully-enclosed, Wiard modules are more 
usable outside-the-rack than any other manufacturer's modules.

For power supplies, I get the +/15V 1.5A linear supplies made by 
International Power from Mouser.  That's enough for six modules (at 
least), so for a couple, an 800mA supply should be plenty.

Try part# 597-AA15-0.8 here:

It's not a 100% off-the-shelf solution, since you'll have to wire up 
a fused IEC receptacle (and switch) to the input, and a DIN jack or 
two to the output, but those operations are as easy as building your 
own audio cables.

Hope this helps ...
