Default Cheap and cheerful bench power supply

50-0-50 Volts, variable.
0-3 Amps, variable.
Tracking

Ideally, I would like:

0-5 Amps
Linear rather than SMPS
230/240VAC

The last three are not deal-breakers though. I've seen a few on eBay,
but am not certain about quality. Like this:

It would be nice to find one here in Australia, but 30-0-30 seems to be
the limit for the popular choices.


**I found this at Element14:

I wonder how difficult it would be to hack two of these to provide tracking:

I imagine that Wavecom is the manufacturer for Tenma. Possibly someone
has hacked these things?
