As part of the snug cleanup process, people who were involved identified items that we may not want to keep. We agreed in a member meeting to poll the membership on each item.
If you are the owner/guardian etc of the item, please say so in a reply to stop the poll.
Please vote and then, if you wish, make a case in a reply post for your stay/go vote.
If you would be interested in taking over the item, post that in a reply.
Polls will stay open for 7 days.
Items with no votes at all will be disposed of.
Description: A shelf of old bench power supplies, untested
At least one is faulty, but one or two of these, if tested, would be useful as a low-noise power supply for anything sensitive. If voted to dispose I’m happy to take and investigate/test further.
I took a look yesterday - 1 or 2 are very low power like .5 - 1A. So I don’t see them being that generally useful - someone should test them all and pick the 1 best one to keep and ditch the rest (especially any faulty ones)? Thanks @mjadczak for taking this on!
I suspect for low-noise applications you’d be testing battery-powered circuits anyway, so .5-1A should be plenty! I’ll try to go through and whittle them down though, agreed that we probably don’t need all of them.
That’s true but it’s a matter of space taken/time of use , space is more important then have everything for every occasion and the benches are already packed.
I think electronics will not need them as I assume everyone willing to build a low noise circuit will not trust a very old and uncalibrated PSU anyway
