[TenTec] Crowbar kit for 252/262 power supply

[Al Gulseth]

Allen,

The OVP is not "rocket science" so to speak - it's just a zener diode, a 
heavy-duty SCR of the proper rating, a fuse, and a few passive components. It 
should be fairly easy to build one on a breadboard or in a small external 
enclosure along the lines of the 1150 (if I remember the model # correctly.) 
There may be a scan of the crowbar manual/schematic floating around 
somewhere, or otherwise you could clone the crowbar circuit from the Astron 
RS-20 series. (It's a variant of the circuit TT used.)

73, Al
