Nope! As far as I can tell this power supply was one of the first itmes Drake ever produced. They made a few items during WWII and this was made I believe in 1944. It sort of a squatty cube about 1 foot on side and about a foot and a half in height. It has a big fan in the top cover. There are two lamps, a breaker doubles as a power switch and there is also power connector the same as that on the transmitter. I have never seen another one. It was made just for the ART13. It contains the filament, LV & HV supplies. When I got it the filament supply was shorted and all the electrolytics were bad. I replaced the filament transformer with a 19 VAC and full waved the output into a big cap ( 50K ufd or something.) I removed the 4 mercuty arc tubes and replaced them with SS rectifiers. Finally, the electrolytics were removed and replaced with a bunch of 430 ufd @ 250 shunted by 40K equalization resisitors. Everything else is intact. You turn on the switch and the big green light lights up. Wait about 45 seconds and the relay used to delay the plate for the mercury tubes kicks in and the red lamp and HV supplies come up. The transmitter is ready for service. Like I said, I have never seen another one of these power supplies. I don't have the model number in hand as I am in Florida right now and the supply is in Ohio. de KA4JVY Mark --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Thanks Mark > > My instincts told me that there had to be something available out there, > either Drake, Heath or some commerical piece. > > I assume you are using the Drake PS for the TR series? > > Cheers > > Ron > > From: Mark Foltarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: 2005/02/23 Wed PM 08:02:06 EST > > To: Discussion of AM Radio <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: [AMRadio] ART 13 Transmitter > > > > Ron, > > > > I have been using an ART13 with the Drake AC power supply for the intended > > purpose. > > > > Give a shout here at 813-837-2324 or 440-570-1762. > > > > Or a QSO on 20m SSB > > > > de KA4JVY > > > > Mark > > > > > > --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > > > > Finally dug into all three ART 13's and ready to combine the best of two > into > > > one really nice AM transmitter and sell the third one.
