Well here we are now trying to get some power supply working for NexGen. Well I have luging this beast around for more than a few years, and I need some juice for my projects. It seems that my Kepco JQE-6-10 output stage took a dump. BTW if you have a service manual for this unit please let me know.. I would love to make a copy.
So... This one was on top of the pile... ok I plugged it in and nothing.. So I checked the fuses and they were both missing so I tossed in the two fuses and bang its... alive.
Here are the specs:
Manufacture: | Electronic Measurements Co of Red Bank Eatontown, NJ | |
Model: |
Programmable Regatran |
|
Serial Number: | 3G 4456 | |
Output Voltage: | 0 - 36vdc | |
Output Current: | ? | |
Just a note: If you look at the controls (TL, BR) and the binding posts you will notice that they are bakelite.
This unit BTW if you look at the serial number you will notice the date code: 44 week of 1956 so this unit was built in the last week of October or the first week of November, which makes this power supply is 58 years old! and still works!!

BTW: at UTA (University at Arlington) we have a maker lab in the Library.. So I can replace the knobs. The only thing that I have to pay for is the nylon.

I have just inserted picture #4. The Capacitor has a 6-63 date stamp! 2015 -1963 = 52 so about 52 years old...
