Brian is correct, the Invader 2000 DID have a separate power supply. ?Also, it was engineered so that the 200 watt Invader could be converted to an Invader 2000. ?
The faceplate changed out and the 200 watt PS slid out and went into the 2000 watt PS. ? The 2 x PL-175 (4-400) deck went where the 200 watt PS came out. ??
Rather slick. ? I miss my Invader 2000 and have been looking for another one for a few decades. ?

The higher power 2000 version I think DID have a separate outboard PS, as with the 500. I suspect the venerable EFJ Johnson Desk Kilowatt was the same (given its weight from videos and info I have read it would HAVE to break down somewhat I suspect).
