Thanks for the reply Steve.

That makes sense.

I have been searching Ebay for a few weeks looking for old telecom
equipment. I have found lots of it, but of course most of it is big
power 48V @50A and needs a 220VAC input. Although it wouldn't be too
hard for me to get 220 to my shack (garage), I would prefer the input
be 110VAC. Partly because I would like to make all three amplifiers
we are building the same and my friend can't run 220VAC to his shack.
There were some great deals on high power 48V supplies ($150 and up).
I wound up ordering the power transformers from Ameritron. The price
was certainly better than the toroids I was looking at.
