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
