[Central-Electronics] 100V and 200V differences?

[Robert A Sullivan]

George,

True enough! However the ‘down side’ of all those connectors is they can fail (and do!). Also the underside of the 200V is more ‘open’ making it a bit easier to work on.

The 200V is built on a monolithic chassis. I have a 100V and it is particularly convenient to separate the power supply chassis, which I did, to update caps, rectifiers,  etc. But other design updates in the 200V may make it desirable.
