The RS-35A is not a switching supply - - in case that influences anyone's thinking...  I've got 2 of them here... On 1/8/22 4:40 PM, Gary Sitton via BVARC wrote: Allen:     Most of those switchers have an MOV and a low-pass filter on the 120 AC input.  This would be an easy fix if that's all

Typically, the linear style supply loses its pass xstrs or 723 regulator. It also has a SCR over voltage protection on the output. Clamps the + to ground...the fold back circuit in the 723 prevents burn up. If it hums when turned in, I'd check that first. Remove the OVP and check voltage unloaded.

I have an Astron RS-35A here that is DOA from the lightning strike. There might be some good spare parts in it, or you can try to fix it. Free for pickup. I also have a couple of computer cases and other junque available. Call or email. Allen R. Brier N5XZ 1515 Windloch Lane Richmond,

Allen:     Most of those switchers have an MOV and a low-pass filter on the 120 AC input.  This would be an easy fix if that's all it is.  I would come and get it except that Richmond is a bit of a trip.  I would like to visit your site anyway sometime though.  Don't throw it out just yet... 73,
