Sorry, a glitch sent the post before I finished........
The regulator allowed for 5-15 VDC - sometimes a tad over - closer to 17 or so - controlled vai a Pot. The current was a constant 6-7 Amps - I believe it was listed as 6 but some may have went to 7. Anyway, the regulator to my knowledge is no longer available and I was wondering if anyone else has attempted to try to work around that problem - using the rest of the components which came in the Power Supply?
IF so, I'd be glad to hear your input. I have like 5 of these supplies - all but one works. IF nothing else - I can use the non-working for parts - ie cabinet, hardware, meter movement, pot, bridge rectifier, etc. But, if I can get it working to some degree - I'd prefer that. As I alluded to - before I was rudely interrupted with the glitch, I "started" working around the part via some sort of design - but got pulled away from it. Time for designing is in short supply these days.
Thanks in advance for any input/ideas.
