[TenTec] Airpax

[Steve Berg]

A fuse will not act fast enough to save the final transistors if the 
current gets too high.  I use a vintage Ten Tec 960 series power 
supply.  These have an over-current protection circuit, so if you put 
too much of a load on the finals, the power supply shuts off, saving the 
transistors.  These are commonly available on the e-place.

Or, what is the part number and source to buy on the market?  I've tried several suppliers, and found a 20 Amp, but no 18 Amp.  I tried to search the groups files, but just haven't figured out the search method.
