Got 1, but 2 more got away

You know how it goes with buying used stuff, if you're not first you're last.

Same seller for all 3 items:

- Fluke bench top meter 8845A for $50 - MISSED

- Raspberry Pi Model B, Arduino Uno, a couple other microcontrollers, and cables for $30 - MISSED

- GW Instek GPS-2303 for $50 - SCORE!



First 2 were gone within an hour of advertising. Surprised the power supply was still available.

The "new to me" power supply is a big step up from the one I built a few years back.

Feeling the pain and the joy for you! I'm half inclined to say YOU SUCK!

I have built and rebuilt a half dozen power supplies over the years. None as nice as that one. My best supply is a +/- 0-50 amp 0-50 volt unit I designed and built for myself shortly after the LM317 voltage regulator on a chip in a TO-3 can arrived. It's a nice machine, but if I had it to do over again, I would have saved my coin and bought a smaller better one during the hey day of e-bay auctions. I did get a few nice small ones but nothing as nice as yours.

Same goes for a few other e-toys I should have scooped. On the flip side I did score some really nice oscilloscopes that I love.

I have almost the same GW supply (GPC-3030), the differences being analog meters and an additional fixed +5V. It's been just fine on the bench next to the HP 6024A. That Fluke would have been a nice catch.

When I contacted him he said someone else was already on the way but would let me know if they didn't show up. Minutes later it was posted as SOLD. Damn.
