[Elecraft] Question: Over-voltage protection (OVP) for K2, K1

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Hello,
As many of you know, I've been pretty active building and repairing 
Elecrafts ...

... And recently I had a K2 come in after having a collision with a 
runaway power supply. Extensive damage. Most modern supplies have a 
protection circuit that drops a short across the supply if the voltage 
goes over a set limit, but this was not the case here. A simple external 
crowbar probably would have saved this K2 from disaster.

So I built a simple OVP that can be inserted inline with the K2's power. 
See http://wilcoxengineering.com/OVP/ for some pictures of the project.

Question: Is a product like this something that folks might find useful 
if I were to make the parts (or a mini-kit) available?

Let me know!
Many thanks,
Alan
