It has room for 6 TO-3 devices [has 5 2n3055s on it right now], air cooled. If anyone wants it, I'd let it go for $15. It's 5+ pounds of copper. I'd give it away but I bought the non-working Sorensen supply on eBay for $60. I also have the transformer from the supply. It's really a monster. -- Martin Klingensmith http://wwia.org/ http://nnytech.net/ -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
