Belix PSUs??

[Matthew S. Padden]

Hi..

	I've just picked up a huge Belix linear power supply, type SP429. I'm 
assured it works; the last test sticker on it is dated 1970 ( :) ). It 
seems to supply +5.5V, +/-15V and +25V. Mains input has a 5A fuse, and 
all outputs are adjustable. There's trip switch too.

	I've no idea yet how good the regulation is; guess I'll fire it up this 
evening and measure things after it's warmed up.
	
	My guess is that with something of this age, it will be worth replacing 
a lot of the capacitors (particularly the reservoir caps, six of them, 
2500uF, 40V) due to old age. Is this a reasonable assumption? 

Any advice appreciated.
