power supply. Power supplies with noticeable regulation error often benefit greatly from heavier leads, especially for +5V and Ground. Reducing the actual drop through the lines reduces the resulting error; and, at-motherboard voltage is back to 4.8V or better under high loads. The heavier leads also reduce noise. Whether or not tighter regulating power supplies benefit significantly from swapping in heavier leads is an open question. At high switching frequencies the power supply’s leads will have a higher effective resistance and the spike voltages appearing across the power supply output will be larger. If you notice otherwise ‘mysterious’ system glitches despite having a good, solid looking power supply and/or that power supplies tend to crater when connected to your Apple II, swapping in heavier leads may be a good idea. Our current GS power supply is the one which came with the computer when it was purchased in the Fall of 1986. Yes, our GS was plugged into a System Saver IIgs fa
