Performa 6200 Power Supply

I was given an old Performa 6200CD with a blown power supply. Can anyone tell me where to find one and is it worth even fixing?

Not worth fixing, but eBay is a good source. They take the same PSU as the 630-series, 640, and 6300-series Macs.

Thanks for the reply :-) I found a number of 6200 PS units on eBay starting at $25. You say its not worth fixing...is that from the standpoint that it doesn't have enough power to run any current software?

The 6200 series was one of Apple's poorest designs. If you really want to keep it running, find a 6360 power supply and a cheap 54/64/55/6500 board. Those were the same board but a MUCH better design, and about three to five times faster.
