Hello Peter and David,

Thank you for all the information about power supplies. It might come
in handy when I'm going to build an external controller cabinet for
my 2 theremins and maybe a sequencer and other CV sources..

There's still one thing:
The links David posted about the veroboard doesn't really work. I've
checked out maplin, searched there on "veroboard", couldn't find
anything with that. I did find a lot of other stuff (stripboards ).
But I don't know if that would be the same thing..

Greets, Zameer
