A "New" Power Supply

Image
I bought a Power Supply at the ARNSW equipment sales.   http://www.arnsw.org.au/html/page_disposals.html The Yaesu FP-12 Power Supply is a 13.8 volt 12 amp, 16 amp peak, mains supply, including an elliptical speaker, made in Japan in 1980.  On top, held down with a Velcro strap, is my Yaesu Ft-8800 2m/70cm transceiver. Pros Noise free analogue supply Well made, built like a brick outhouse, 35 years old and works perfectly. Tilt stand and height gives a good viewing angle Great sounding speaker Looks reasonably neat. Cons Heavy! Weighs in at a hefty  7.3 kg (16.1 lbs)
