The GF-9696 specs calls for 58w AC input. The GF-9696C specs call for 40w AC input.
That transformer is only rated at 24VA. Just fyi.

Ahhh... little errors can happen! If it is the case, no worries at my age I take more care of my Bboxes then when I was a kid, so they will never need the full wattage, for I will never crank it up to the max!!!!
But, thanks for the heads up!!!!
Oh, and were do you see the wattage on the pic?
Let us know...

Depends if you want to go with the 58w rating of the GF-9696 or the 40w rating of the GF-9696C.
You can use the following chart to guide you. I think the type of PS you have is full wave bridge rectified, resistive load. You will get higher peaks with less ripple if it has the large filter caps but RMS will be same, which is 90% of the AC secondary voltage. If using 14.4v secondary xfo, you will need approx 3a for the 40w rating or 4a for the 58w rating. If using 12.6v (or12v) xfo, then 5a for 58w or 3.5a for 40w. If 13.2v secondary xfo, then 4.5a for 58w or 3a for 40w.
Or, WTH, just use your own judgement based on the chart below, and what you see in the PS and Main board.
... I will work on this and most-likely get the correct transformer later on down the line.

it's because they can't supply a constant 230V, the distances from power stations to the end user is huge, my closest station (150MW/1 turbine) is 247km away, the multi turbine stations that supply most of the state are over 500km from me (both as road measurements)- Status
