I have two supplies. The first one was the one I had problems with and have since fixed. It works great, now! After building that one and LEARNING from the experience, the 2nd went together in NO TIME... heck, I'll put yours together for less than the $100 Welborne wants to do it! ;-) By the

OK, so I found the problem with PS #1. I opened the box and discovered the leads from the regulator and one of the leads from the transformer were touching the center channel (support beam, of sorts) of the box!! Taking the card out and putting friction tape across the entire bottom of the card,

i have one of the pre-assembled power supplies from welborne labs (i haven't yet learned to solder that's my next project!). no their stuff isn't 'junk' they have consistently gotten great reviews over the years. the problem seems to be their owner isn't really capable of running his business cor

If its from Welborne it is JUNK. I have one. Its in the storage room. Don't waste anymore time on it. And yes you are lucky you got anything at all from Welborne. He sent you a kit that was missing parts! No surprise. I bought a preamp kit. I spent over 2 months and over 30 emails and neve

Welborn does ship a grounded AC plug/cable but doesn't use the ground. They actually state in the directions to trim it back to the strain relief and use only the HOT and NEUTRAL wires. I'll attempt connecting the chassis to the gnd of the +5 output to see if that helps. -- Eric Seaberg Eric

I haven't built this but I looked at what is published on Welborne's site. It looks like the entire psu including transformer is mounted on the circuit board which is isolated from the aluminum enclosure. Do you have the safety earth pin of the IEC connector referenced to the aluminum chassis? Thi
