The RS50M seems like a nice supply. I'm planning on purchasing one as well. I've been using
several linear supplies used for Drake TR7s as a stiff station 12V supply. They too work well,
but I want to get some of the TR7s back on the air again, and need the supplies.  I'm not sure
whether I need a metered supply (as the supply will live under one of the benches) but they're
nice units for sure.  I think the Drake units are capable of 30-35 amps. Drake didn't skimp
here!

Regarding the danger, I suppose everything's dangerous in some way or another, but the most
likely danger from this approach is a herniated disk, or squashed finger from hefting that
thing around !!   With common sense application care, there's certainly nothing inherently
dangerous about a 50A LV power supply.
