Figured I would bring some life to the board and see what you guys think of this power supply.

I use my Astron 50A on the main work bench but thought about getting one of these for a 2nd work bench that would not be pulling any heavy load.

Hey Chuck,
Yeah that is what I figured it was cheap junk. Thanks for the info. I will pass on it as well.

Yes very cheap stuff made cheap. Now I am not saying not to buy one but if you do, you can go into the supply and make a few modifications. But this defeats the purpose of buying cheap.
