[Boatanchors] TCS-10 Power Supply?

[Joe Connor]

 Thanks, Jay. Mine is for the receiver only and is mounted inside the receiver. The quality of the parts and workmanship make it look like it was professionally done, but I could be wrong.
I'm attaching a picture. The power supply is to the right.

Federal Telephone and Radio made the PP380/U (ca. 1949):
 

 

 
 
And here is my restored TCS power supply built by the Electronics Shop at Charleston Naval Shipyard. It is the same circuit. Input/Output voltages shown on the tag.
 

 

 
I have a PDF of the manual for the PP380/U. If you (or anyone else) wants a file, let me know.

 I just picked up a TCS-10 receiver at the Sussex County hamfest today. When I got home and pulled it out of the case, it looks like it has a professional after-market AC power supply installed, and the original 12V tubes have been replaced with their 6V equivalents.
Did Collins make an after-market AC power supply for these receivers?
As always, thank you for you help and your collective knowledge,
