My bench power supply died mid-test yesterday

Was running a final continuity check on a Garmin G1000 harness and my old B&K Precision just popped a fuse and went dark. Had to hunt down a replacement at 4pm on a Friday, which meant driving 45 minutes to the only shop that had one in stock. Anyone else keep a backup supply just for these moments?

Never had that happen to you before? You probably don't test enough gear.

My old B&K blew a fuse too. Always keep a backup now.

Mine blew a fuse last Tuesday too... @phoenix_singh probably never keeps spares around.
