[Motorola] power supply-what do I have?

[w7trh at comcast.net]

Hello Joe, 



Thanks much for the note! 

Well, I agree.....the darn thing is heavy, that's for sure. 

It was long ago when I aquired the PS "Strip". You jogged my memory. I believe it was the supply to a 100w Low Band base station. 

Sounds like it has all the necessary voltages to power various "Project" transmitters (for those who still play with tubes....hi, hi). 

I think it is worth keeping the PS in one piece, and attempting to find a home locally (Seattle/Tacoma Wa. area). 



Thanks again Joe...have a safe 4th!

Hello Tim,from Joe w5jdy in Okla...   If it is one of the two power strips I 
am thinking about,it has either 600volts B+ or 900volts B+...  The 600 volt 
model was for a 60 watt transmitter and the 900 volt model was for a 100 
watt transmitter..  Never the less,either one is toooooo heavy to ship... 
Maybe it could be shipped Grayhound Bus...  Not a joke,truth...  They take 
very good care of their shipments at a fair price..  The only bad thing is 
you have to take the item to the terminal and pick it up at the terminal... 
Everything I have written is just from memory and I could be thinking of 
something all together different than what you have??? 
BTY   Either power supply also has a hefty 6.3 volt AC supply,a negative 150 
volt bias supply and and a 12volt semi-filtered keying voltage supply...   I 
do have some more information somewhere if I can find it,so if you are 
interested email me direct... 
Joe
