I am thinking of building the CVP Big Boost 10 amp from the May 2001 issue of Model Railroader (which I don’t have - found the details on this website).
Has anybody tried building this unit? Are there any diagrams available for component placement on the pcb? Any hints/corrections that I should be aware of?
WOW! This is really a hot topic!
Anyway, I started taking a closer look at the schematic, and it looks like there are parts missing from the parts list. Anybody got any ideas on this one? Has anybody out there built there own power booster and is willing to share their experiences with the rest of us?
Here is one booster design, for using a PC as the command station.
