| 1362252 | 2013-12-11 00:26:00 | I have a power supply which appears to have been built from an old Dick Smith kitset. I would like to know more information about it such as specifications, schematic etc. All I was able to find was from the PCB code, which turns up this from the old RCS Radio PCB listings: * Mag Part Number Price X Bin Description ............. YearMth P za ZA1364 $ 27.00 2353A VK 15-25amp 13.8v P/S mk2 1993Jan P za ZA136464 $ 42.50 2353B VK 20-40amp 13.8v P/S mk1 1993RCS Apprently code 'za' means Dick Smith - so maybe not a kit designed by SC\EA\ETI but actually DSE themselves. Either way, I asked them and they said they don't have any information about kits any more. Or maybe not just this one. I'm hoping someone here might have such information or at least know something more about it. |

The power supply is called the "Enhanced Mk2 VK Powermaster"......it has to be good if it is enhanced :) Designed by Dick Smith R&D Design Dept. described in EA January 1993. If you will wait a few hours I'll scan and upload the pages to box.net |
