I bought this of ebay, a Farnell D30 2, 30volt 2 amp variable power supply,which was a bit of an old wreck,shall we say some sellers must be photographers showing things in their best light.
Any way got it eventually,and it wasn't in good shape, so I change some part ,no alot of parts, cleaned it up, gave the outer case a paint.
Taking my New pride and joy down to a small calibration centre ,where I know the owner, he let me calibrate it, that was a good experience, and a really good lesson, now I have a fully calibrated really useful 0-30 by 2amp variable bench power supply,plus I've found something I really enjoy doing, getting old equipment and bringing it back from the edge of the junkbox, just got to find a manual for it now and learn how to use it.. I think these must be 20/30 years old ? and I wonder what it would have cost.

You simply can't beat old equipment. Much sexier!

Thank You ,it looked a bit sorry for it's self when I got it, the chips on the inside date it as 1980, I'm really pleased with it.
