Many low cost triple output power supplies are designed to power digital circuits (e.g. +5V) with maybe some RS-232 or analog circuitry (+- 12V). Since the only 'important' voltage is +5, that's the only voltage that's regulated. The others are designed to be within maybe 5% up to the rated load. I see various power supplies on fleabay that are sold for use with the Thunderbolt that seem to fit this model.

In the Thunderbolt the +12 runs the oscillator. Won't an unregulated, but relatively steady, +12 supply degrade the performance of the oscillator or does the Tbolt have a built-in regulator to deal with this?
