[Boatanchors] Homebrew Power Supply

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

The "factory" supply for the AF-67 is the PS-2V. 
 
It is rated to deliver nominal 6 VAC @ 6A, or 12 VAC 
@ 3A for filaments, 230 VDC @ 80 mA and 475 VDC
@ 170 mA.  Separate plate and filament transformers 
are provided. 
 
There is a 24 VAC tap on the filament transformer to 
be used for control or a bias supply. 
 
Outputs of the plate transformer T2 are 1400 V C.T. 
and 800 V C.T.
 
Output of the filament transformer T1 are 6VAC @ 1A 
for a 6X5GT rectifier, 5 VAC @ 3 A for a 5U4G rectifier, 
plus 6 VAC @ 6A or 12 VAC @ 3A for transmitter filaments
and 24 VAC @ .1A for control/bias.
 
Both high voltage circuits are full-wave using choke input
filtering. 
 
If you'd like to borrow my power supply manual to copy, Joe, 
let me know.
