[GreenKeys] Teletype REC 10 power supply available

[B Degnan]

You certainly would be right about the supply potentially needing service, I don't mean to imply it works.  I was told it worked, but you know how reliable a lot of sellers on Ebay are!

Here's a better picture, yes it's a REC 10.

Bill,

There is a problem with these older power supplies.  They use either  
copper oxide or Selinium rectifiers which cannot be trusted after so  
many years.  They break down and leak gas.  I have a couple of upgrade  
kits made by Sylvania to replace the old rectifier elements with big  
diodes mounted on large heat sinks.  These were originally supplied to  
the military for this purpose.

Today the biggest problem with these power supplies is the cost of  
shipping them.  I find that normally FedEx Ground is the least  
expensive.
The REC 10 is the model number of the power supply and is not to be  
confused with the Model 10 Teletype machine.

Are you anywhere near Pittsburgh, PA ?  There are a couple of people  
there that might be interested.

temp-controlled environment.  I tried selling it,b ut there were no  
takers.
