Would it be cheaper and better then my Astron power supplies? My Astron's do
not sit next to my K3 or any of my other equipment. Therefore, whether they
match the look of a K3 (or not) is not important.
But, if a kit version were produced and if it was cost comparable to other
non-kit power supplies I might be tempted and only because the idea of putting
together a kit, and thus knowing my power supply a bit better, would be a plus.
However, the quality of engineering and design of Elecraft is the most
important part of buying one of these kits (to me) so if you are thinking of
producing a kit power supply, I would not be as enthusiastic as I would with
one from Elecraft. I don't mean to imply any scourge on your skills and
capabilities but rather that Eric and Wayne have established quite a good
reputation already and that is hard to beat or hard to even come close without
the advantage of time in doing the same thing.
Then again, the hardest part of putting a linear power supply together from
scratch ("scratch" means properly chosen components) is creating a solid and
nice looking cabinet. So, maybe the idea of a kit boils down to the choice of
cabinet box hardware after all.
That is my opinion and I will stick to it for a few more seconds.
