[Milsurplus] An interesting power supply . . .

[Christian R. Fandt]

Hi folks,

I've got an object purported to be a power supply for some sort of ancient, 
rather obsolete missile in its original box. I bought it at a hamfest, lo, 
thirty years ago or so. I thought it was so interesting (cool?) that I 
forked over $5. It may indeed be from a missile as it has an impact switch 
and an atmospheric pressure transducer. Would any of you be able to assist 
in identifying which missile it may be from given the data on the box 
label? I'm not too familiar with the MIL numbering system. Here's all of 
what is printed on that label:

1420-701-3999
9006570        POWER SUPPLY
GS-18768
1 EA.     ITEM 6.2.30
DA-30-069-ORD-2309
S.A.  21
WECO  WIN-SAL      C     12-60
SERIAL NO.    3043

It is evident from markings on several components and this label that the 
contractor was Western Electric (WECO) in Winston-Salem, NC. from back in 1960.

Also, the fifth line starting with DA- has a couple of characters that 
might be alpha instead of numeric. That line could then be: 
DA-3Q-069-0RD-2309 with the fourth character a "Q" instead of a zero and 
the eighth character a zero instead of an "O".

Know anybody who would want it?

Thanks,  Chris F.

NNNN
