John,

That is correct.  I FINALLY found one at an estate sale not too far from my 
home, but it was partly by chance that I located it.  I now have three 
SBE's and one supply.

I have an SBE mounted in a GPT-750 with the internal power supply. It's 
main power transformer was missing, and at long last I found a close but 
not quite the same size power transformer I can put in there.  I wanted a 
split primary transformer, and the B+ winding is rather low voltage.  By 
the way, the supply unit mounted inside the GPT-750 is the same chassis as 
the rack mount verstion, but without the front panel.  There is a one-U 
(1-3/8" ?) panel just above the SBE in the transmitter middle drawer that 
carries the fuses and indicator lamps for the supply.

Nomenclature I have is:
PP 174/URA-23  but thls may be a typo.

But a cross reference list from the TMC web site shows:

Civilian ......... military................ NSN
A-1397           PP-1769/URA23  5820-823-2980
