Bought this for an HP-23A that had bad filter caps. Got a high quality kit with a silkscreened and solder resist coated PCB, very professional. The instructions (which are also available on the website) are complete and I had the board finished in no time.
Take care when installing the transformer wires - there are two different ways to do it (depending it you want to use the voltage switch or not), and if you don't pay attention, you can mess up. The confusion is really from the different versions of the HP-23 that exist, and not the manual, though I'd suggest a couple of drawings to help make the point.
I've run this power supply for some time now, and no problems have occured. I got all the correct voltages from the power supply on the bench and during operation. I have no worries leaving the room for dinner and leaving it on, like I do with some of my other radios.
Shipped in reasonable time too.
Another good guy helping to keep boatanchors running!
