Building the Commodore Universal Bench Power Supply

This videos shows how to build a prototype universal bench power supply for Commodore computers using off the shelf parts. Having a power supply that can be made to work with just about any Commodore has been a dream of mine for a couple years (and I have been buying parts for over a year, most of which ended up not being used).

I am in the process of moving the blog to its own domain. Once that is completed will update these links. In the meantime you can find the blog posts on the RavenWolf Retro Tech website at: https://www.ravenwolffarm.com/post/commodore-universal-power-supply-part-1-planning
