These are back on that auction site with 16 available. Tested, without the power supply. BIN $99.

I'm about ready to grab one, but I'll need to find a power supply. Do you think this is a good deal, or should I wait for one with a power supply?

I think dingus found his for around $60 with a power supply. not sure if you should wait or not. what kind of pain in a ss is it going to be to find a power supply?

Going rate recently went from $69 without power supply to$90 with power supply, before shipping.

Now, however, it seems they are selling $100 to $120 average, with a few going for $145-$165, and one even selling for $209!!!

It's a pretty specific power supply, for the Entech, but you can get an almost exact one for $19.95. The entech uses a 16VAC (not DC) 650 mA, and you can get a 16VAC, 1000mA- the extra 350 mA won't hurt anything.

Looks like it has the proper size power barrel. If not, a trip to Radio Shack and a bit of splicing will cure what ails it.

Cost for the Entech and the power supply will run you $120 before shipping.

Just about the going rate, give or take $20.
