Of course the December 2000 issue of M&J is no longer on sale. But at least I have given the information on what issue to look for, I've posted a schematic, and this should be of considerable help for those motivated enough to hunt down a copy. I have all of the M&J issues from that time, I also have some notes and schematics regarding the DSIXs from Shibazaki, and I thought that sharing some of this information would perhaps be appreciated.

At any rate, I looked up the photo of the DSIX on Dagogo, and I feel fairly certain that it is a synchro-isolator circuit (and so it should be superior to the KingRex). But as the photo shows, this is a damn simple design. The amount and complexity of wiring is minimal, and the parts count and layout isn't even complex enough to warrant a double-sided circuit-board. The parts themselves don't appear esoteric enough to be much of a bottleneck, either. I believe that the green Muse electrolytics are out of production, but Nichicon does offer suitable replacements today.

I'd suggest that someone who has a year or two of producing electronics commercially and is reasonably motivated and competent should be able to handle this. No need for decades of experience here.

As for how much it would cost for someone to replicate the DPS1, the cost of living and salaries differ considerably around the world, so I cannot offer any useful information. jonathan carr

PS. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the self-entitled attitude that you are projecting. The only thing that you will accomplish is to de-motivate those who would otherwise be willing to post and offer advice.
