Been there, done that. Two possibilities. I used the power xformer from an HP 608 sig gen. Form/fit into the PP-32 is perfect. Likewise works fine for HB supply.  I just happen to have one xformer left, but that's another story.  The filter caps in the PP-32 need higher values of C.  Power connectors came from Bill Perry.

OOPS, That should be 270 VDC @ 135 mA not 2,700 VDC. Yikes

Hello friends.

 

I just acquired a nice ARR-7 that was electrically restored and aligned by a very competent fellow (pic attached). He made a 60 Hz AC-DC power supply for it, but it was crazy expensive. So here goes. The specs I need are:

2,700 VDC @ 135 mA

25 VDC @ 350 mA (for scanning motor, which is half the fun!)

6.3 VDC @ 4.0 A

 

Does anyone know if there is some existing power supply from some other piece of equipment that might have similar specs that I could begin hunting for? I know there is the PP-32/AR but my understanding is that this is a 400 Hz unit (380 Hz to 1,000 Hz).

 

If there isn’t another commonly available PS that would supply these, I may have to resort to building one. On ebay there are transformers with multiple secondaries but searching for such a beast is very difficult. Any advice on searching for a multiple secondary transformer? And of course, should all else fail, I could make a PS with 3 transformers if necessary.

 

Any suggestions welcome.
