There's a 3-output linear power supply kit at 
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=C6895 that appears 
to be a good supply for the TBolt.  Thinking about ordering one to replace 
the switcher that I got with my TBolt (TAPR buy).   Price is $33.10 US plus 
S/H.
All outputs are adjustable from 1V to full output, but if you want finer 
control, you can replace the pots with fixed resistors and a lower value pot 
on each output.  This kit appears to be complete, with the exception of an 
enclosure.
