Compatible PSU for Lombard/Bronze Keyboard PowerBook G3

[rieSha.]

I vaguely remember that at one point in time/model succession, the PSU types for the G3 laptops have changed and stopped being compatible. There are plenty replacement offerings on eBay, but not specifically for the Lombard, only for iBook G3 or Pismo …

Which models are compatible with my PSU-less Lombard G3 (SCSI, USB)?

Any of the following:
PowerBook Duo (all models) - not recommended because they have a Rifa cap in them
PowerBook 1400
PowerBook 2400
PowerBook 3400
PowerBook G3 (all)
iBook G3 Clamshell

The G3 Snow models use the later connector that’s smaller.

If you are just looking for a PSU and don’t care if it is a genuine and vintage Apple device, you can make your own PSU for the Lombard by using a modern PSU with an adapter:
