I even went so far as to build myself a little load box, with meter test points and a couple of switches to select load on-off and which (ac or dc) the meter was reading, and still have it around here someplace. That thing would get downright toasty after the load was on for a bit, and would show up supplies that would only fail after they warmed up. I'll add too that the supplies with vents in them were repairable, and I ended up replacing the regulator in a few of them. The other kind were epoxy-potted, and otherwise useless though I did consider the idea of a modern art sculpture on their lawn in West Chester at one point. :-) -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, ?a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. ?--Robert A.
