[Boatanchors] Varitrn V

[Barrie Smith]

Hello, All:

I just picked up a "Varitran V" bench power supply, with no manual.

I brought it home and, since it uses oil capacitors, turned it on.  It works!

It has two meters.  The one on the left is 0 to 500 volts DC.  The one on the right has two scales, 0 to 150 ma and 0 to 15 ma.

I measured, with an external meter, very close to what the panel meter read, all the way to 500 volts.

The current meter works into a resistor, as well.  According to Ohm's law, it's very close.

Right in the center-top of the front panel is a loudspeaker.  I'm assuming it's some sort of warning device.  It did not make it's presence known.

I'm wondering if anyone knows much about this heavy thing?  Or, where to get a manual?

I've been looking for a bench power supply and this should be just Jim-Dandy!
