I have two really good HP bench supplies I got really cheap at a bankrupt auction. 25V and 5A each. They seem spot on and very accurate, the problem is sometimes you need to erm 'abuse' a PSU. So I tried a ebay special and it was pretty bad, it lasted around 3 weeks and died before I could abuse it properly. I think the HP are linear (not taken them apart), the cheapo one was SMPS. I have a old weller desoldering station that has had it, but the transformer is ok.
Its 24V but until I find some specs I am not sure of the rating. Is it worth knocking up a bench PSU with it? Or maybe using a SMPS unit with some adjustments? The other question is LT spice, is there a way to do a transformer easily in it? I have started playing with LT spice using some of the demo sims to look at SMPS etc.
