Dear David, I have no recipe for your thunderbolt powersupply, but the Ebay power supply you mention is not a linear power supply but a switching power supply! I have two Thunderbolts however, these boards came from Telecom and have a 48V switcher built in. So I use them in the same way as I

David, I use a Mean Well. Model: T-30B with my Thunderbolt. See http://www.meanwell.com/search/T-30 for details. It is about the same dimensions (slightly higher) as the GPSDO. I got mine from Aibin, VA3GUO, and it was only slightly more expensive than the unit you referenced on Ebay.

Alternatively since you only need 25mA @ +12V, 25mA @ -12V and 300mA @+5V (if I'm reading the right datasheet) you can use a much lower voltage output transformer suited to the 5V regulator and use a pair of voltage doublers or triplers to feed your 12V regulators. A 7.5- 0 - 7.5V
