The rectifier is not Selenium. It might be Germanium, but is likely Silicon. The oil condenser almost certainly means the transformer is ferro-resonant, which will give fairly good output voltage regulation. You can try reforming the electrolytic condenser, it may be fine. the AC power cable plugs into an old industrial connector, usually made by Cutler-Hammer. My model 19 uses a similar sized 4 pin connector. Try making a search for old industrial power connectors, if you can find a NEMA number you are on the way to finding the connector. You might consider changing out the power cable to a modern one, and gain the safety of a ground wire.

Hi friends. Found this loop supply in a closet. Anyone recognize it? The AC input plug looks WEIRD! Does not appear to be the same pitch as a regular 2-prong AC plug. Anyone know what it is supposed to plug into? Also, I think this has a selenium stack. Leave as is? See pix (cover removed for the photo).

I am guessing, but would like your input) that the oil filled cap is probably ok but the big electrolytic should be reformed? Or replaced?

 

Comments/suggestions?
