Power Supply Recommendation

Hi Folks,
I am looking for a regulated power supply to run my scope when I am home based. Currently using the below gear but keeping in mind expanding demand. Can anyone reommend one?

Looked on eBay and saw this:

Does anyone have experience with these units?

Thanks in advance.

Rom

Use one of these Manson SPA-8230 from

It has a lighter socket as well and the V out put is tunable
12-13v

I would recommend one of these supplies. I used to use one for a 100W Ham Radio with no problems. With the current draw of a mount and possible dew heaters it would just loaf along.

Looks identical to one Dick Smith Electronics sold me which has worked well. Worth checking cause I got it during a sale for some $20 or 30$ off.

That's the same I got from Jaycar. Been using it for years to power the G11. No problem so far.

Give it some cover - I don't think you want it rained on while in operation!
