The Melcor TEC can be obtained from Lastek at $66 + $15 freight. Melcor (in the US) sell them for considerably less, but will not deal directly with Australian customers. An alternative may be to use a larger unit (40mm x 40mm) available from Oatley Electronics at a much lower cost (about $25).

The Special 26 wire ribbon cable is available from Farnell but is very expensive.

The PC boards may be ordered directly from Essentiel Electroniques - the so called Kit #0 (without the special cable). I just sent US$30 in notes (I know that this is a bit risky but the alternative is considerably more expensive).

The other hardware (eyepiece tube, cold finger) I had made locally for less than $100.

Most computer suppliers will be able to supply a CPU heatsink/cooler - select one that is reasonably solid and has a ball-bearing fan (to reduce vibration). Should be around $15-$20.

Contact me if you require details

Computer power supplies can be obtained from most computer suppliers ($40 - $60) or from an old computer. Oatley Electronics often have suitable power supplies at low cost.

I made the +/- 15V power supply using adjustable regulators together with a 30V 150mA centre-tapped transformer ($8) from Jaycar.

Note: All up cost for my camera was around $700 (including the Kodak special KAF-401 sale)
