AFAIK the electronics in the T-power supply are the same as in the
T-32 flash. Maybe it would be feasible (and cheap!) to convert a T-32
into a power supply. 
It will probably ask not much more than cutting three wires to the
flash tube of the T-32, removing the tube, and connecting the cut
wires to the cable of the macro flash you want to use the power supply
with...

I have done something alike about a year ago to convert the built-in
flash of a Gossen fibre-optics macro light source into a TTL-flash.
The flash tube in the Gossen has taken the place (electrically
speaking) of the T-32 tube. It worked - and now I probably own one of
the very few TTL capable fibre optics flashguns in existence.

So I can recommend the conversion of a T-32 for your purpose.
