Heavy Duty Power Supply

This device is built around a very large transformer mounted on a heavy gauge steel chassis. The power is rectified via a half-wave diode bridge using powerful diodes. It has a current limiting circuit and the rectifier transistor has a heatsink. The final chosen by the manufacturer is 2x 2n3771, making this npn setup bulletproof. What impresses me is that everything is connected with a thick wire and not the flimsy connectors that others use. You can't go wrong with this device.
