Well I didn't buy it but I am paying for it with a sore back...
Rescued from the Dumpster....
3KV power supply.....
As posted over on the QRZ Forums....
An acquaintance of Pat's (WA6MHZ) showed up at the Radio Hospital one day while I was there.
We engaged in some RF related conversation, really smart guy, he said the same about me Blush.....
He had this and was going to send it to E-Waste....
Supposedly this is a power supply from a transmitter built by Northern Radio Co.
I picked it up yesterday from the back of Pat's Flex..
I still feel it... That is one heavy sucker...
Yes I will check the bleeders before powering up...
Note the caps which are oil filled... Something is missing......
The socket is control and metering. There is something down in the lower right corner that makes me a bit nervous..... I wonder who's idea that was?
Reasonably nice iron, it is a choke input filter and the choke is in the negative side of the power supply.
You can see the metering circuits in the upper left hand corner.
The bride rectifier is hard to see in this photo but it is there.
Here is the bridge that makes me a little nervous....
Close up of the label on the power transformer.
And finally the south facing end of a north bound power supply...
