Why would you change out an Astron RS35M? Unless you need to
make the K3 station portable where the weight and size of the
Astron is an issue, the RS35M will be both much more quiet and
much more reliable than any switcher.
Even if the Astron is getting a little unreliable, an overhaul
(replacing the diodes, pass transistors and possibly filter cap)
is likely to be more cost effective than purchasing a switcher.
For repair/overhaul information see:

or for a more in-depth modification/overhaul that replaces the 723
regulator see: <http://www.bwcelectronics.com/articles/WP20A190.pdf>
