[ARC5] A pair of questions

A couple of questions for the collective knowledge. I'm starting to look 
for a decent bench power supply for my gear. I've gone thru the books 
and added up the power requirements for running the planed system and 
all was well until I hit the power requirements for the SCR-269. Holy 
smokes, it really jumped the current needs....The dyamotors for the -269 
really drive up the requirements. A PE-89 requires a 20 amp circuit and 
it's alternate, a PE-109 requires a 35 amp circuit.

So, anyone have a suggestion for a bench supply that will provide 75 
amps at 24 VDC, and not break the bank? Batteries are out due to the 
needs for out gassing control and space.


Second question.. Anyone have a copy of the manual for the RC-55 Test 
Set that they would be willing to copy, or know where I could find one? 
As the chance of me finding the pieces to assemble one, at an affordable 
price is probably very close to zero, I'd like to build my own replica. 
Copying expenses would be covered.
