FREE Power Supply Giveaway CLOSED/ENDED

[rmteo]

(All power supplies are accounted for, OFFER has ENDED ... THANKS! APR 15th, 2010).

I have a whole bunch of electronic stuff that is is surplus to our requirements and will be giving them away over the next few weeks. The first item is a switching power supply that will be a great bench unit for MCU work (the AA battery is for size comparison and is not included):

a. Input voltage: 100-240VAC, 2A, 50-60Hz.
b. Outputs: 12V/3A
5V/5A
-12V/0.7A

I have 10 of these PSU's (they are basically new) and will send them out to US addresses for just the USPS Priority Mail shipping cost ($5.00). Since only a limited number are available, I'm thinking of some kind of a contest to determine who gets them. Any suggestions for the contest?

How about "what is Steve's favorite color?", or "When is Steve's Birthday?", and whoever gets closets wins. Can I guess first?

I think I will let this one go on a first-come-first-served basis to see what kind of interest there is. One PSU per address please, thank you.

So, the first ten people who post here saying that they want one AND PayPal $5.00 (for US addresses) to rmteo.at.earthlink.net (replace .at. with @) will receive the PSU's via USPS Priority Mail. I will update the list as the PayPal transactions come in.

Well heck, I've got $5 in MY paypal account so I'll play along.
What other toys have you got.


Steve

P.S... I just sent you a PM with my correct mailing address. I think Paypal gave you the wrong one. Please let me know if there's any questions.

Thanks!

For some strange reason, I am not able to edit my post #3. Here is the current list:

1. Byte Butcher - paid.
2. Charles Linquist - paid.

[Charles Linquis]

I'll take one.

RMTEO, I just got a project from a friend. He has a 1980's era home automation system that needs repair. The monitor / logic board power supply died. It uses +5 +12 and -12 to run the thing. So, if you reach the end of the week and have some left, I will take a second one also.

Thanks agin for offering these.

[rmteo]

Steve and PickyBiker,

There are still 6 PSU's left. You may as well take what you need now as there does not seem to be any more interest.

[Byte_Butcher]

Well, if the game is over, then I guess I'll take 2 more.

It's just dinner time for me now, so it'll be an hour or 2 before I do the PayPal thing, but I promise to send you $10 for 2 before the night is over.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve, please do 2x $5 - makes it easier for me to do the shipping labels.

[Byte_Butcher]

OoOps, sorry, already did 1 x $10.
