[Craig Cantwell]

 Thanks Jack. I'm looking at an HP 6024A, which will give me up to 10 amps.

 In standby, 1.8A.  In trasmit 7.4A according to the book.
Since there is no dynamotor, starting surge won't be a problem.

Mine draws about a half amp more than that. Probably due
to a modification. In mine the 0Z4 rectifier was changed
to a 6X5 with dropping resistor. I tried putting putting
the 0Z4 back, but the supply simply wouldn't make any voltage.

Hopefully the vibrator is good, they are high on the unobtanium
list.
