[TenTec] 252M supply putting out 19 volts!?

[Edward Crawford]

I have found that the 252M supply that I have had sitting on the shelf here for months and months is putting out slightly over 19 volts. Guess I should have tested it after I bought it! Glad I didn't hook a radio up to it. More importantly I'm glad I didn't let someone else hook their radio to it.

I'm assuming it must be the pass transistor that causes this? That is , according to previous posts I have read on this reflector. Bear in mind I have no idea what a pass transistor looks like. I know what a transistor looks like, but I don't know which one it is. I'm sure if some of you fine folks will lend me your expertise I will have this thing straightened out in short order.

You see, the thing is that I have had this very nice looking power supply sitting here that is almost in mint condition, and now I find that it don't work right. I feel obligated to get it working, so I can find a radio that matches it, and set it here with all the other stuff that looks like it :>)

Your help with this, I can assure you, will be greatly appreciated.
