content: Quote from: lowimpedance on December 07, 2016, 11:18:20 amIt came up in the top half of the first page of the category. I think someone put up a post in to resurrect it - and then deleted that post after I added my 2 cents. Left me holding the bag. Can't prove that - but I rarely evenlookpast page 1 of a category, let alone post on old threads.My big goof was not doing a sanity check by looking at some dates.

content: As good as this is, don't forget that Australia is the country is afraid of linear wall wart plug packs. They banned the external traditional transformer. Rather than say you have to make them with low leakage, they just said we will have none of them and banned the lot. Cause you know all cheap Chinese SMPS plug packs are perfect. No leakage or safety concerns what so ever. ... Freaking governments.
