(Years go now) a friend put an LM out at his spot at the big Gaithersburg Hamfest. When he came back, someone had left two more to join it. I think none of them sold!

I have dug into the "needs repair" power supply here - it is Coast Guard Power Pack for LM-7 Type GF-118, 1942:

-Original iron replaced by newer non-military transformer and two chokes
-Rectifier jumpered by diodes
-One of three oil bathtub caps clipped out of service (2uF 600v)
-Two-prong line connector has line cord soldered on
-Original power outlet connector still present

This thing needs overhaul but will serve well once set right.
