Heathkit Power Supply Upgrade and Restoration

[@rohnkd4hct260]

I picked up one at a second hand store. He had no idea what it was. He asked a reasonable price, so it came home with me. It’s on my bench to be repaired.

Great video of your Heathkit Power Supply upgrade. I have a Heathkit HP-23 here for a future project. It has the On/Off switch and the pilot lamp. It probably needs the upgrade. 73 Paul AA1SU

Hi Will, great videos. Have a HW-101 & a SP-600 coming to me that I’m going to restore. What brand/color black do you recommend for the transformer? Flat or matte? Thanks!

375V? that should cook something.

[@N5OLA]

That's only 7% above spec of 350V.

[@clytle374]

@@N5OLA yeah, from memory I thought it was 300V. But that is about what you want max at the tibes

Why didn't you initially power it up with a variac, in-line current meter and dim bulb circuit?
