Does anybody know where to purchase a power supply for the Maxspect Gyre fx250 aftermarket?

I find it steep to buy the OEM unit from Coralvue for $55. I do not need to controllers, so buying the pump alone my option.

Specs on the power supply from BRS
Power Supply Specifications:
  • Input Voltage - 100/240vAC 50/60Hz
  • Output Voltage - 24vDC 4A
Thanks!
 
There are plenty online for under 20$, but the hard part will be finding the barrel connector. You could splice it, but the right way would be to solder the cable and wrap with shrink tubing. The problem with most of those cables is that the ground surrounds the middle conductor, so you have to splice the middle positive conductor and then wrap the outside one, ideally with shrink tubing. I've done it many times, but making sure the barrel size is the same and inner and outer pins are the right polarity is vital. It should say on the psu with a diagram. Otherwise look for someone with a spare when they upgraded.
