NexGen: Getting the lab working

21 Dec 2014

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. image BTW if you have a service manual for this unit please let me know..  I would love to make a copy.image

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. image

Here are the specs:

Manufacture: Electronic Measurements Co of Red Bank  Eatontown, NJ
Model:

Programmable Regatran
TR035-0.5

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!!

 

 

Keep tuned in more to come; image

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.

As Requested:

PS 30Jan2015

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

    Hi Cris, Small world... Middletown is my old stomping ground too. MTHS north... a LONG time ago! Yes, Lab-Volt as you've found was a product of Buck Engineering. I'm not sure if Buck is still in business…

    I have no recollection of Ray's garage, where 'down the shore' was it?.. you talking about the Porsche guy on Shrewsbury Ave?  OMG, I know about carcasses... Mom's backyard was a regular junkyard.  If it was like that these days I'd probably be in jail... and the EPA would launch a full scale super-fund site!  No shyte?  A DB-3 ?  I guess you never got it on the road then?  I went to muscle cars after the sports cars... 500 HP monsters!  But there's still a place in my heart for SU carbs!

     

    Sorry, I don't do FB... too many scary ppl from my past I don't want to find me!  LOL!

    This is so funny you can't make up this ***... I had several of the MGA I think the one I drove the most (not parts cars) was a bright red one... It was very distinctive as the nose had been cut off of it before I bought it.. I worked in the final test / integration.. did a lot with 7/32s and also the 8/32 #1 to Murray Hill...  I drove a blue B then 76 -78 ?? It had a black removable roof.. I used to hang out down at Ray's Garage on the shore and I cant remember the name of the guy that had a little garage and then opened the Porsche place. They fixed my shocks (had to cut them off) LOL .. Last deal I did was for a DB-3 basket case for 500 and my mom cussed me out and told me to take it back as I had too many carcases around at the time.. 

    *** we should meet up in facebook...LOL  https://www.facebook.com/cris.harrison.9

    I was at Thompson from 66 to 69, then MTHS from 69 to 71, so I gess I a couple years younger...

    Don't 'remember' when the base blew, but I've read about it a bit.  I think it was '58, wasn't it?  We had just moved back to NJ that year... I was 5.  I knew quite a few folks at Interdata, bet we're separated by one degree.  Who knows?  I might even know you, or at least have met... Hobby Headquarters, spent lotsa time there, Tom Cosgrove owns it now... Atkinson and Smith, practically lived there.  Was good friends with Paul Atkinsons son Doug... and the MG dealership?  You mean "World Wide Auto Imports" ?   Yeah, I pretty much lived there too... I was very into MG and Triumph back in the day.  Had a 58 MGA Coupe, a 60 TR3, and several other of those wretched machines.  If that Studebaker dealership was on the corner of Monmouth and Maple, it later was owned by a guy named Anderson and was a foreign car place.  He sold TVR for a while.  I worked for him for about a year or two back in the early 70s.

    Yeah, I bet we've crossed paths a time or two!
