Mike, it sounds like you have a very early production of the AC3. The first few AC3's built by Drake looked very different that the later ones which more resembled the AC4. Listed below is a link to my Drake website where I have pictures of this very early production. If your power supply looks like the one in this picture, you do have a very rare early original Drake AC3. http://www.wb4hfn.com/DrakeEquipment/Equip_EarlyAC3_Front.htm
