Durst-Pro-USA EST1500N Power Supply, does anyone have experience with one?

Only Durst made EST1500N. Too bad Jens called his the same thing as they are totally different. It won't match any Durst schematic.

A while back I did go on an adventure to reverse engineer his "EST1500N" based on pictures I obtained from an owner here who had one that also would not work correctly. Don't know if he ever got his fixed. (was it you?)
I was going to build one for myself. I found sources for the f-series 175 filter, NTE168 rectifier, IDEC RH series relays, Amperite delay relay, PSR-25 AC Control module, and other components used in the device.

Never did get around to building one myself, though as I have two Durst originals that work and also have the Durst service manual and all the Durst schematics to keep them running.

Too bad there is no schematic or service manual for Jens device.

My experience is the EST 500 version for the CLS 500 is more susceptible to problems than the DURST TRA 500 transformer (older design?) for the CLS 500. I have had the fuse blow once - it's in the back behind a small plastic circle. Replace the fuse before you do anything else - that may well solve your problem. If not keep your eyes out for a Durst TRA 500 on the auction site. Then buy a backup!
