Wtb: Lv6100

There is a new LV2000 lite on the LV2000 site for $27 shipped. The only difference from the regular one is that there is no voltage adjustments.

Ha ha, looks like Mark has some competition now, I know Jeff's customer
service is better :)

LV2000 Lite. Do you want to loose the capability of adjusting the outputs just to save a couple bucks?? Not sure if that's the intention???

The LV6100 is designed the same way with no adjustments. Both the LV6100 and LV2000 Lite voltage adjustments are preset which if you ask me is fine.

Mark doesn't always have his readily available but if they are it's fine to use also.

This is not "competition".

It's just a rehash of his old design with the same design defects as his old design. His surface mount diodes will continue to fail at a much higher rate than through-hole diodes, and his resistors will continue to change value with age and the voltages will drift -- you just have no way of correcting for the drift anymore (not that the absolute value of the voltages is all that important.) He's still using the SMD regulators which handle less current than their TO-220 counterparts, so they're more likely to be damaged by repeated power-on transients.

...and I *always* have LV6100s in stock...

Sent you a PM but never heard anything - if they're available I'll take one, just let me know where to send $$.
