Well  not quite but...

I've got a bit of a basket case 30S-1. Much of the power supply iron may well be junk. Sat submerged in flood water for well over a month and that was a few years back. Getting toward thinking about reworking it I'm wondering if I can improve things a bit. Not in terms of what it was but what it might be. So if you were rebuilding such a plate supply would you still do it the same way, centre tapped trafo, tube rectifiers, resonant choke filter, big bleeders? Or is a more modern approach, single secondary winding, bridge rectifier and stack of electrolytics more the way to go? Though there's quite a bit of interlocking and protection in the way the power supply is arranged it all seems fairly straightforward.
