A while back mention was made of a small d.c to d.c inverter for battery portables.

These supplies, which were in kit form, could be made for 67.5 or 90v based portable radios.

Unfortunately the maker of the kit has become very ill and is unable to supply these.

Have an article in which these are mentioned and have a couple of portable radios which I would like to fit out with a supply.

Would anyone have the circuit diagrams for the 90v auto start version and preferably a PCB layout.

Thanks for any information with these inverters.

Thanks Redxm, any information much appreciated, at least if I get a PCB layout can etch up my own board.

From what I know Tony has not been well for some time and its seems the power supply kit project is on hold.

Have spent a lot of time sorting out and ordering the parts, next will come the task of doing a PCB layout from information kindly sent to me and making up a board.

Hopefully will be able to get something going.

I also have the parts gathered to make one of these, but have put off the work of making my own proto-board layout since I could not find the Maher PCB. Can you send me the info too pls Redxm? Email is open.

Thanks
Maven
