Whilst constructing wall warts for my transistor radio collection, I make PP7, PP9 and PP10 falsies using surplus non regulated 9v and 12v power packs, I use mainly LM317T adjustable regulators. With these I can make power packs from 6v to 18v with ease.
I have found them to be good, minimal hash on the radios, robust and cheap.
But I have been making these for years. Stocks are running low. At 99p for 10 from China they are outstanding value.
The thought occurred that things have moved on and I should maybe update to something better next time I restock.
Is there a better regulator at a fair price?
No surface mount tech though!
