Hello everybody.
I would like to ask you for advice on choosing a hobby laboratory power supply with the best value for money.
it will be used for general electronics: TTL, CMOS integrated circuits, dual powered operational amplifiers (OPAMP), thyristors, optocouplers, relays etc.
I am oriented more on linear but what do you think?.
Maximum Badget € 100.
What do you think are the characteristics to take into account before choosing?.
bye thank you

In the US, ebay is your friend for this sort of thing. I imagine GW Laboratory Power Supply Dual Tracking 5V Fixed Model GPC-1850D | eBay would fit the bill.
And that example is typical.
I have a couple spares I would let go, but you are across the ocean from me.

I have the Digimess version of that GW power supply and one of the displays packed up , checking online at the time it seems this is a "typical fault " .
This standard design was "badge engineered " by many at the time keeping the same frontal display , luckily I had already bought 2 quality (ex government ) power supplies from Stewarts of Reading a UK company that buys UK government/military electronic stock .
Even though they are old analogue versions they are still in good working order and "built like tanks " --this taught me not to buy very affordable "flashy " test equipment ,none of the stuff I bought from them let me down.
