OK got a reply, the guy was sick....

Good news: I'm picking them up tomorrow.
Bad news: he only has "about" 5..... So it maybe 4 or it maybe 6......

I said I'll buy all he has got. He said they went pretty fast, and I am not surprised at all !!

Now looking at the wanted list:

In the end I had an added request for 6 by Thwocker...

However to keep it honest I think it would be in the spirit of this forum if we could "share the wealth" and each of us take 1 unit.

I have no direct use for mine, so I will take 1 only too (want that one for my workbench).

If anyone has an objection against this feel free to say so, and as always: first come, first served....so the guys who responded first get first choice.

I'm really sorry about this situation, after my first communications I thought he would have more of these available.....

I would appreciate it if you guys can pay for them ASAP, I will PM my info, you can do free European bank transfer or payPal, but add a little something for the PP costs please.

Shipping will be sorted later....

André,

Your ' polder solution'  is very elegant, but I was last in line, so I would be okay if you´d distribute them by order of interest.

Cheers, Marco

Well, 1 more than on the list so yes you are in :)

It was funny, they had 6 set aside for me, but there was one more on the counter and I had already spotted one in the shop.....so that was eight :)

I'll measure and test them tonight and report.

Mmmmm....forgot the Fluke at work (same location for a week) gotta see if I have some test leads for the Siemens DVM.

Here some pics. Haven't tested them yet of course but they look like quality stuff.

The brand is VU welding & engineering and that is a Dutch company so no cheap Chinese stuff here folks :)

As expected they are big and very heavy....


Oh....the final price: 25 Euro a piece......this is a steal guys ! :)

They look very good !

Only what i would do as a manufacturer, is use those 4 empty slots as a spacer between each terminal

but i guess you cant have it all  :D

I bet they had already made the stickers ;)

The seller also had transformers with other configurations from the same manufacturer (none with 110VAC out though) and they used the same "lay-out".
If it already is a disadvantage it is probably the very smallest I could think of ;) (they were intended to be installed by professionals... ;);)

I already find it a big advantage that they have terminals that you can directly connect an AMP connector to. This is a very neat and well isolated way of connecting, like it better than the usual screw-only terminals.

I understand that that is the reason ofcourse, why make for every configuration a different terminal setup, i get it

its just that i count 5 terminals and 4 empty per side that gave me the idea of a perfect spacer :D

Those spade connectors are indeed a BIG + !

i like the fact it has both screw-on AND spades !  :spaceace: :spaceace:
