Adam, It seems that Fun Projects are again unable to source an electrical component that is used inside their regulator because of the worldwide shortage of these chips. Many of the car manufactures are having the same problems of supply. It seems that we rely too much on all this electronic stuff these days. Every electrical appliance seems to have an electronic circuit controlling it. Some years ago all you had was a couple of knobs on your washing machine or clothes dryer or toaster. These regulators may not be made again for some time. We will have to wait and see. Regards, Kevin.
