[Milsurplus] RA-62 specs ??

[Jim DiMauro]

In case anyone might be interested, I have a RA-62 power supply that's been
keeping my Dad's house from blowing away since the early 1970s.  It's
complete, but pretty dirty.  I've never tried to power it up (I got it for a
SCR-522 project that never got off the ground).  I live in northern NJ and
make frequent trips to Harrisburg, PA via I-80 and I-81.

I can't find any info on the RA-62 power supplies, but
think I can get close on its output from the "Surplus
Radio Conversion Manual, Vol I" specs for the BC-624
receiver and the BC-625 transmitter.

Unit           Voltages/currents

BC-624   12 VDC @ 1.7 A   300 VDC @  60 mA
BC-625   12 VDC @ 2.4 A   300 VDC @ 260 mA   -150 VDC (low current)

In 1959, I modified one into full wave bridge rectifier
and powered a homebrew pair of 807s modulated by
a pair of 1625s, so there is plenty of grunt available.

Unfortunately, two very nice RA-62 units were among
the items I chose to discard following destruction of
my home by tornado.  The rack-mounted BC-625 and
a BC-639 receiver did survive.

Anyone have specs for the RA-62 supply?  I recently made visual
contact with one.
Tnx, Hue Miller
