    Here is a list of some third-party parts for legacy cameras.
    These are reasonable substitutes, and may not be perfect matches in all respects. It is posted here for your convenience.

    ST- Replacement desiccant packets

    These are for the Farpoint plug above, not for the ST-402.
    Farpoint Astro part number: FP330

    ST- 7/8/9/10 - Power Supply:

    Manufacturer part number:Meanwell GP50A13D-R1B
    This is a modern switching power supply instead of the original linear power supply that is no longer available.
    Note that this has been tested and is a decent substitute, and correctly provides +5V, +12V, and -12V as required by the ST-7 and similar cameras.

    NOTE: The label on some of the old ELPAC power supplies may be incorrect and not match the actual wiring; there may be other documentation errors in some versions of the manuals etc. This power supply matches the actual pinouts of the DIN connector.

    Digi-Key part number: 1866-1832-ND
