Those Kenwood PSU are all Japanese good supplies.
Expensive to get here, used to be the 'cheapo' PSU in Asia before China and when the US dominated the test equipment market.
I think that you over reacting ...
The only place that the American test equipment, have some acceptance , are in the U.S.A. continent ..
I think that you are an over passioned with your flag ..
And even if the Americans like to believe that they got first on the Moon , all the planet are aware of,
that the Russians did it first ..
About the Kenwood PSU , its one indestructible monster , very heavy even to lift ,
every five years or so , I open it up and just blow the dust away ..
The specific model , as it looks at the back of it , it has extra outputs , and extra connectors ,
so to operate it remotely , or by external potentiometer .
Its called as specialized for laboratories , because its made for 24/24 365X what ever .. operation
If you build a bulb , you can test it for how many thousands of hours it will keep working , with this PSU.
With all this facts in mind , the 1.500$ , its a fair price for it.
