[Boatanchors] WRL

[Dale Parfitt]

Bob, W9RAN correctly  identified the P.S. as a PS-300. Made to supply the
Duobander and according to the manual, many other manufacturer's rigs- the
manual  has pinouts for different Heath, Elmac etc.

Tnx Bob,

Dale W4OP

The WRL PSA-63 was a kit made to power various transmitters of the

1950s through 1960s.  Various versions had wiring options to power

specific transmitters such as Gonset G-76, Swan single band SSB

transceivers, Heathkit MT-1 Cheyenne, Elmac AF-54, 67, 68 and

similar rigs.  PTT and adjustable bias up to negative 100V DC were

also options.

 

Output was +600V DC and +300V DC with a total available power of

210 Watts, plus two 6 Volt 4 Amp outputs that could be put in series

for 4 Amps @ 12V or in parallel for 8 Amps @ 6V.

 

Two separate toggles are on the front panel for AC ON/OFF and B+

ON/OFF.

 

The one I have weighs 13.0 pounds plus the weight of the cables

(maybe a pound).  This does NOT have any means of attaching it to

another item.

 

The schematic is available at the BOATANCHORS mirror site.

 

p.s.  I sure wish Dale's loop antenna were still available!

Your description doesn't ring any bells. How about those pics?

 Any WRL aficionados in the group? I have a 20  pound supply here with no
model #. Jones plug  for AC and output. Also difficult to open up except for
the bottom. It appears to clamp onto a radio via latches.

I can take pix. Looks like filaments,  screen bias, low  and high B+.
