One might also notice that the SAME regulator board is used on nearly all of
the ASTRON power supplies. It's also VERY EASY to convert a fixed voltage
supply, such as the RS-20 or RS-35 into a VS (variable voltage). The
schematic on bamb-edebris (the mirror site... easier to get into) shows that
one need only cut the bridge on the regulator chip, install a 5K pot, and
stick it back together. I converted my RS-35A into a VS-35M (with meters),
although I put my ammeter in series with the output, vs. the way they do it.
I also added a pair of standard-spacing 5-way binding posts on the front of
the supply, as it makes it SOOOooo much easier to use it as a bench supply.
