Well, the project is now complete and the new ART-13 is up and running 
as of this weekend.  Everything worked out OK, in the end.  The only 
bump in the road was the selected 28v transformer.  Despite published 
specs and calculations, it yields 24.5v when all is said and done.  That 
said, the voltage is within the spec margin and the power out of the 
transmitter is about 120 watts.  Both the +400v and +1150v supplies came 
out as calculated.  I've sent the article about this NIB ART-13 and the 
power supply project off to ER for publication later this year, 
according to Ray.  I'm sure anyone who might be interested will, of 
course, get the necessary ER issue but, in the interim, I'd be happy to 
help anyone in MRCA with the info on the power supply.
