[Milsurplus] SCR-245, BC-223 PE-125-AX Vibrator Supply

[David Stinson]

Does anyone have experience with the PE-125-AX
vibrator power supply for the BC-223 transmitter?
The thing has two identical vibrator supplies 
which are connected in parallel on the B+ output.
They have some heavy iron in them.
This transmitter puts-out 10 watts- not much.
In mine, one of the supplies has bad iron.
I pulled the fuses and the vibrator on the bad side.
The other side is operating well.

I can't imagine this 10W rig needs double the current
that one of these supplies can source.
Manual has no explanation.  
Does anyone know why this unit has dual supplies?
Does the BC-223 really need the extra current 
or is it some kind of "redundancy" thing?
