[TenTec] Sudden increase in power

[Michael O. Hyder]

Probably not your problem but most Astron supplies are succeptible to RF
interference in the regulator circuit and also succeptable to failure from
voltage transients applied to the negative output.  Positive and negative
posts of the Astrons are floating above the chassis.

Hams in the know remove the insulators from the negative post of those
supplies and make sure the post is well grounded to the chassis of the
supply.
