Isolation Transformer Substitute

Anybody know where I can get a cheapo 115VACin to ~163VDCout ~200W smps with good isolation?

The idea is to dodge buying a ~200W isolation transformer.

And to avoid doing something goofy like: E*bay 12V smps + E*bay automotive inverter with 'Pure Sine'.

In the past I have used car battery transformers back to back in order to get an isolated mains supply (240V UK)

Nice tempting price.. But at 15.30lbs weight.. guessing $40.00 in Purolator ground shipping.

Rounding everything up... About $100.00 for the Tenma isolation transformer . Huh... :) I can't imagine an smps near equivalent being much less expensive.

Thanks..

I Forgot that the delay was becuse it came from a seperate warehouse.

Newark shipping express overnight is pretty reasonable.The price is $12 for 50lbs or less.You have other options but the default is always the best deal ,in my case anyways. Considering I pay 8$ for two to three day deliverys from Digikey and a minumum order is requiried or you get a handling fee its pretty reasonable.

Heres my invoice (About $11 in other stuff).Just the transformer taxes and shipping would be $62.
