Hi Shawn
Thanks for your reply.
The circuit is exactly as TT designed, i have the diagram to follow and confirm component values and types.

Is there a missing bleeder resistor? I wouldn’t think 1.5A is required for good regulation but perhaps it just needs more current.

Hi all
I recently sold a TT 210 power supply having tested it, as i always do, before listing and subsequently selling. The new owner commented on how well it was packed but then started to doubt my parentage, my honesty and a host of other things that are not printable. What happened was that before hooking up to his radio he tested the NO LOAD voltage which was approx 23volts, i sent him a refund and paid for the return of the unit. I tested it and sure enough 23 volts on the fluke 73, however when i attached it to my dummy load at 1.5amps it immediately dropped to a whisker under 12volts which is close to the rated output. Wanted to keep it it as original as possible internally, this of course may not be possible, i renewed 99% of the components, still same result.
Is this normal?
Or should i rebuild it using more modern components, a 7812 or 7815 etc.
As usual any and all thoughts/advice welcome
Thanks, Snowy G0HZE
