Hi Brooke -- Good idea. I was thinking of another way to get at least a sense of what's going on: look at the input current from power-on and see if the current goes down in a normal fashion as the ovens warm up. If the current stays high, that would (presumably) mean that the voltage isn't

Years ago I found an interesting box at a hamfest. It's from Frequency Electronics and is labeled as a model FE-6018A Precision Frequency Synthesizer. It has an FE-10A 5 MHz frequency standard, and several internal filter/mixer/other stuff modules. In addition to a 5 MHz output, it has the

Hi John: How about just changing the input voltage and comparing to the meter reading, i.e. are they 1:1? If there's a power supply then watch it's output voltage as the input is brought up and at some point the output voltage will stabilize. How about some photos? Have Fun, Brooke Clarke
