One of my goals this year was to remove the 240 volt AC supply and replace it with a single 12 volt DC supply. Its obviously safer with all that dew forming on the wires. Having said that I was running a supply out to a sealed box by the scope and then using 12v DC adaptors from there. The supply was also protected with the RCB's in the house so it was pretty safe. The real reason for the change was to reduce the setup time and the amount of equipment needed and to that end, the case with the 5 metres heavy cable rolled up inside is no more. Having damaged the scope a while ago I have had time to do some positive changes and converting the supply to incorporate Cigar lighter connections should ensure that the current will flow in the right direction thus avoiding another expensive fry up.
