Re: Building a replacement MTX PSU

Hi Mark!
I have sourced most of the parts and most have been delivered; I had to go with another transformer as it was unavailble and besides, rapidonline's postal costs to Denmark were eye-watering.
The trickiest part has been finding 6 core tinned copper cable sold by the metre (I've ordered several metres of the stranded untinned type, unfortunately). I'm not an electronics hobbyist (don't get me wrong, time-permitting I probably would be), thus having bins of M3 nuts and machine screws or diodes, for example, is fine but working out quite expensive, in my case.
I haven't added up what I've spent (would make my toes curl, most likely!) but I'm about to go through your BOM and my deliveries to check if I have them and double-check they are what is required. I'll let you know if I have queries.
Thanks for replying,
Steve
