content: Nice thing about this power supply is that it really has a softstart and never overshoots it's voltage setting. This is the reason a company I know that had replaced all their Philips powersupplies with new digital ones came back on their decision and had all the old ones refurbished.

content: Quote from: Kjelt on March 10, 2014, 06:50:37 pmIt is a very good power supply, I update to a "digital" version because I like to have a "sexy"lab but not for any technical reason.It is a good deal, grab it because in a few days it will go on eBay and for this price it will be gone very quickly.eurofox

content: Quote from: nctnico on March 13, 2014, 04:21:24 pmI don't think shipping 12 KG to US cost only 45 Euros, don't talk me about shipping with postal services, last time I used it I pay 75 Euros to ship 7kg to Italy.eurofox

content: 12kg is quite heavy indeed. Your postal service is also expensive! Sending up to 10kg to the US (or the rest of the world) costs €58 from the NL (up to 20kg €106). Sending 7kg to Italy costs €25 in the NL (with tracking). If you are close to the NL border it may be cheaper to post your items in the NL.

content: shipping from the US to Germany is always a bargain, Mouser and Digikey even ship via FEDEX for free above 100 Euro order.But shipping from Germany to the US and ridiculously expense.I have no idea, why that is.

content: It arrived today and is doing duty at the moment.I've got a receiver to repair where the transfo died. i'm using the PM 1542 in symmetric config to see if anything else died in the receiver, or if there is an unexpected high load that took down the transfo.There isn't. Unfortunately for me a replacement 2x22v (40+ €) transfo costs more than I ever paid for the amp(20€). so it's beyond economical repair unless I can trace down a 2nd hand replacement .But the supply works

content: Gratz. You should give the caps a visual check over especially the ones on the front board, Philips of this age can get leaky.Saw this posted not so long ago (dutch?) unrelated but anyway,http://www.circuitsonline.net/forum/view/116927The cost of shipping international from Belgium almost seems criminal I wonder how much business they have lost because of it.
