My "lab" power supply was a homemade one I made/upgrade some years ago. It was constructed around a LM350K TO-3 regulator and worked very well. But I really missed one function: adjustable current limit.
The LM350K regulator has a fixed current limit around 2-3 amps, but usually that is just too much current for a prototype. Many times, when something went wrong, one or more components went burnt.
