Default Re: R1155 Modern Power Supply

G'day everyone.
Probably not of much value to this thread but I have a "Type X" power supply here.
Made by Airzone in Melbourne for the war effort.
It was used to power the R1155 / T1154 setup from 240V mains.
It is very heavy and definitely a 4 man lift.
Picture here. http://www.tuberadio.com/robinson/Au...dios/TYPEX.jpg
Copper oxide or selenium rectifier for the low voltage supply and a pair of 866A mercury vapour rectifiers for the HT.
I have it here but it is not easy to get to as it is toward the rear of my shed and I have not really looked at it for over 15 years.
I am having major abdominal surgery in under 2 weeks time and will be out of action for about 8 weeks so my surgeon tells me so I can't help in the short time. Much as I would love to dig it out and be an active part of this thread.
Sadly I do not have any details other than Ray's pictures.
I intend to keep it intact and use it to power an ART-13 TX.

Cheers.
