[GreenKeys] Building my own power supply

An original  power supply for the 19 was to supply the current for punch magnet. 
 I'm thinking the original bell system PS I had was rated at 900 mA. There must have been 
3 or 4 different designs over the years.  There was the one with the nice blue glow tubes,
The simple transformer with a selenium rectifier stack and L C filtering.  Then there were 
The ones that regulated with some weird combination L and C that was called something like 
Ferromagnetic resonance regulation.  (Sola made a line of these just to do a range of 
100-150? AC Input, 117 AC regulated output)

Navy Radio has a document or 2 with schematics of the various types.

I'm working on a circuit for it, but I don't exactly know what I am doing because I've never done this before. Would you let me know if I am on the right track to building a switching power supply?
