Since voltage is voltage, the short answer is "of course!". I've never opened a TT before, so I searched Google and discovered that an AT (not ATX) power supply should work.
Here's one post from the past:
When you look at the connectors from the AT power supply you will notice
that both connectors have 2 black leads (the GND wires) you should keep
these side by side like this:
--
| o|--- RED
| o|--- RED
| o|--- RED
| o|--- WHITE
| o|--- BLACK --
| o|--- BLACK |
-- >
| o|--- BLACK |
| o|--- BLACK --
| o|--- BLUE
| o|--- YELLOW
| o|--- not connected (at least not with my XT/TT power supply)
| o|--- ORANGE
--
... and here's another:
Mainboard
TT Description/Voltage
1 PG (PowerGood)
2 +5 Volt
3 +12 Volt
4 -12 Volt (serial!)
5 GND
6 GND
7 GND
8 GND
9 -5 Volt
10 +5 Volt Mainboard
11 +5 Volt Mainboard
12 +5 Volt Mainboard
(Obviously, the two authors were looking in opposite directions when they posted!) :-)
Anyhow, just get a power supply that has the necessary +5, -5, +12, and -12 connections any you're all set. The TT pulls less than 100W (I think the original supplies were rated around 65W), so a 150W AT supply should work nicely.
