Behlman has been the Lexus of variable frequency power sources ever since the 1960s. The 25-C has a power rating of 250 V-A but are *very* conservatively rated, able to put out 150% of rated load continuously if you can tolerate more harmonic distortion in your load. The C models are were made in the 1970s and 80's IIRC, eventually replaced by basically the same thing but with more modern power transistors and a digital meter. I still have a 100-C that has a single 400Hz frequency plug-in, and a 50-C with a 45-2000Hz variable oscillator. I've used them for twenty years working on my equipment at aafradio.org. I bought both of them on ebay for parts but found that they were easy to repair. The 50-C "parts unit" is pictured below, and I primarily use it for the WW2 Navy 800Hz equipment. I'm partial to the C models because they use an analog voltmeter. They are modular in design so that with additional power transistor banks they can get up to quite high current outputs. I have a some spare parts for the C model if you need any.

Is anyone familiar with Behlman AC power sources? There is a Behlman Model 25-C on Facebook marketplace.
I don’t see a manual available for this. Would this be a good 400 Hz power source for WWII avionics? Looks like the AC output voltage is adjustable.
