[Milsurplus] Milsurplus Digest, Vol 247, Issue 43

[Matt P]

Ray,
I see you are using a PP-327(A or B?). I just acquired a "B" unit of
unknown provenance that had the power cord cut off, but nearly pristine on
the inside with the exception of seeing the blower motor disconnected. When
you acquired your power supply, did you completelyre-cap before applying
power? I see the warning in the manual to never power up without a load (or
radio) attached; but want to get some insight into what to expect before
applying power.
73,
Matt
