Fair Radio surplus in Lima Ohio use to sell what most of us know as the Fair charger. I have two on my shelf(backups) that I used before I got my PFC 20. Fair no longer has this charger in stock but they do have just the transformers.

Virtually all components are missing from this unit with the exception of the power transformer and the housing.
